Saving and Applying Metadata Templates

If you are working with our custom DPC Job Ticket Info Panel, a simple way to produce your metadata is to use saved metadata templates. Use the following instructions to save and apply metadata templates. Reference Using XMP File Info Panel (DPC Job Ticket) for instructions on how to find and use our custom panel.

Saving metadata templates:

In Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, or Photoshop, before the file is exported to a PDF, go to File > File Info. In Adobe Acrobat, with your PDF file open, go to File > Properties. In the Properties window, click the Additional Metadata button.

Fill out all fields in the DPC Job Ticket Info Panel.

Click the arrow in the upper right corner of the window.

Click Save Metadata Template... and save the template with a useful name (i.e. DigitalColor_LetterSize).

Click OK to apply your metadata.
