In the small and very helpful tutorial from Fraser Gregor called
Handling XMP Metadata with Creative Suite Extension Builder
The sample for Illustrator is quite straitforward.
In the run() function, add this line to extract the XMP packet from the active Illustrator document:
#
var xmpPacket:String = app.activeDocument.XMPString;
#
Create an object to represent our custom art namespace, in the context of the XMP packet:
#
var context:ArtXMPContext = new ArtXMPContext(xmpPacket);
But from InDesign, there is no equivalent to app.activeDocument.XMPString returning an xml string.
We must use app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences. This is not returning a string at all.
Is there any InDesign equivalent to the Illustrator document.XMPString function?
