Metadata in LiveCycle

Apr 4, 2011 10:01 AM

Is there a way to set up meta data in LiveCycle that will map over to Adobe?  In the adobe properties there is a "Keyword" section.  Where can get enter the Keywords in LiveCycle to that they will map over to that keyword section in Adobe?

Thanks!

Jodi

    Click on File --> Form Properties

     

    Add meta data to the Info tab.  Anything entered here will carry over to Adobe.

    HI Ida!  Thanks for the info.  the problem is that "keywords" isn't a choice in the info tab.

    Hopefully in the next version of LiveCycle it will be

    You might have to code it in the xml code along with the encoding.  I am testing your issue now on one of the forms I am currently working on and will let you know what I find out.

    Hi,

     

    the keywords can be definded manuall in the XML source.

     

    Look for the following segment ...

     

     

    <rdf:Description xmlns:pdf="http://ns.adobe.com/pdf/1.3/" rdf:about="">

             <pdf:Producer>Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 9.0</pdf:Producer>

    </rdf:Description>

     

     

    ... and insert a tag with your keywords, so it looks like.
    <rdf:Description xmlns:pdf="http://ns.adobe.com/pdf/1.3/" rdf:about="">
             <pdf:Producer>Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 9.0</pdf:Producer>
             <pdf:Keywords>keyword1, keyword2, keyword3,keyword4</pdf:Keywords>
    </rdf:Description>

    In the xml you want to add this:

     

    <dc:subject>

                <rdf:Bag>

                  <rdf:li>Keywords</rdf:li>

                  <rdf:li>keyword 2</rdf:li>

                  <rdf:li>keyword 3</rdf:li>

                </rdf:Bag>

    </dc:subject>

     

    The meta data in XML is located at the bottom.  Locate the following and add the script.

     

    <rdf:Description xmlns:xmp="http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/" rdf:about="">

            <xmp:CreatorTool>Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2</xmp:CreatorTool>

            <xmp:ModifyDate>2011-04-04T13:15:27-05:00</xmp:ModifyDate>

            <xmp:CreateDate>2006-03-24T12:09:19-05:00</xmp:CreateDate>

            <xmp:MetadataDate>2011-04-04T18:17:18Z</xmp:MetadataDate>

          </rdf:Description>

          <rdf:Description xmlns:xmpMM="http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/mm/" rdf:about="">

            <xmpMM:DocumentID>uuid:2b8434e9-051b-4cd4-946d-4a430813611d</xmpMM:Do cumentID>

            <xmpMM:InstanceID>uuid:f38d5eb5-91f9-4597-83de-d564cb55505a</xmpMM:In stanceID>

          </rdf:Description>

          <rdf:Description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" rdf:about="">

            <dc:format>application/pdf</dc:format>

            <dc:subject>

                <rdf:Bag>

                  <rdf:li>Keywords</rdf:li>

                  <rdf:li>keyword 2</rdf:li>

                  <rdf:li>keyword 3</rdf:li>

                </rdf:Bag>

            </dc:subject>

    Next to your Design View tab, there should be XML Source tab.  If not, right click on the space next to the Design tab and select XML.

    radzmar,

    Your approach worked great, but is there a way to add values to the keyword tags automatically (via Javascript) by retrieving such values from user input (field data)?

     

    Example:

    Name.rawValue = John

    State.rawValue = FL

     

    Results:

    "John"  and "FL" both shows up as a keywords in Properities.

     

     

    Thanks

    Shaun

    Hi,

     

    you won't be able to change that values at runtime as the matadata is not part of the form template itself but contained in the PDF.

    http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/xml/xfa_spec_3_3.pdf#pag e=1252

     

    At design time you could use Designer's macro capabilities to create new metadata without entering the XML source.

    But there is currently no such macro that can do this, so it needs to be developed by someone.
