Hi Roland,

The "Copyright" tag is EXIF, but EXIF isn't supported in PDF files.

Instead of Copyright, I would suggest writing XMP-dc:Rights (or just "Rights") to a PDF file.

BTW, this problem is discussed in FAQ number 23.

- Phil
...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
