pdf "Title" instead of filename

[tobiasb]

hi support,
i have a problem printing pdfs, because my RIP always take the pdf title instead of Filename.
i tried to delete all meta information with a batchflow inside my config.xml:
<exiftool enable="true" toolpath="exiftool-12.17\exiftool.exe" eachtask="-overwrite_original -all:all= ${filepathmask}" />
if i look inside with -all:all then no title is inside. but when i RIP again, still the title is shown. so i ask myself where this come from or which tag i have to delete?
any idea?

thanks in advance
tobias

Hi Tobias,

What happens if you set Title to something else instead of trying to delete it?

It could be either that RIP is looking at freed objects (which it shouldn't), or that another tag somewhere carries the title.

Hi Phil,
thankx for quick response! 
I try "-all:title=TEST123", but no change. the RIP takes still another title that i don´t no where this come from.

OK.  I assume you searched all of the "exiftool -a" output for anywhere else the title may exist.  If you can't find it in another location than I'm out of ideas.  Does RIP perhaps maintain an external database that it is using to cache the original title?

hi phil,
yes with -a, but nowhere i can see this tag which the RIP uses. The RIP has no database using.
I try to use callas toolbox to determine "3d-comments" with a correction, that works, but i cannot go this way over hotfolders and another instance.
ok, thanks a lot for your time!
anyway great tool

Maybe the program doesn't honor the way exiftool updates the metadate?

Have you tried re-linearizing the pdf with a program such as qpdf?  See details on the PDF tags page.
