Hello everyone!!

I'm newbie to Indesign script and I want to write script to export activeDocument to JPG with its metadataPreferences? I don't know it's possible or not? or have any way to do it?

Below is my code:

-----

var exportJpg = function() {

    var saveFile = File.saveDialog("Save your files","*.jpg");

    var mydoc = app.activeDocument;

    app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.MAXIMUM;           

    mydoc.metadataPreferences.description = "It's description to write";   

    mydoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.JPG, saveFile, false);

}

exportJpg();

----

I wish anyone know and share their knowledge or give comments. Thank you in advance!!

 

Best Regards;

kuyseng.

    I don't see any options for passing any metadata to the exported *.jpeg You should probably look at adding this later using the XMP library ( covered in the toolkit guide )… If I recall correctly *.pdf will inherit document metadata but that may be it…

    Great Thank for your Guide!! Now I can find the code:

    ----

    var exportJpg = function() {

        var saveFile = File.saveDialog("Save your files","*.jpg");

        var mydoc = app.activeDocument;

        app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.MAXIMUM;           

        mydoc.metadataPreferences.description = "It's description to write";   

        mydoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.JPG, saveFile, false);

     

       if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined)

            ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject('lib:AdobeXMPScript');

        

       var xmpFile = new XMPFile(saveFile.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_UPDATE);

       var xmp = xmpFile.getXMP();

      

       xmp.deleteProperty(XMPConst.NS_DC, "description"); 

       xmp.setLocalizedText( XMPConst.NS_DC, "description", null, "x-default", "It's description to write");

       

       if (xmpFile.canPutXMP(xmp)) {

              xmpFile.putXMP(xmp);

        } 

        xmpFile.closeFile(XMPConst.CLOSE_UPDATE_SAFELY); 

    }

     

    exportJpg();
