Add Metadata in Illustrator

[BEGINNER_X]

Hi All,

We need to add metadata to illustrator files.

Grab information from .csv and store it as variables like as below.

var _docTitle = "AAAAAA";

var _author = "Mr.XXX";

var _descrip = "CCCCC";

Try my best by using xmpFile, but not succeed.

My requirement is as like as below screenshot

In Photoshop (this should be straight forwarded):

app.activeDocument.info.caption= "bb"; 

app.activeDocument.info.captionWriter= "cc"; 

app.activeDocument.info.headline= "dd"; 

app.activeDocument.info.instructions= "ee"; 

Kindly help for the above request.

Thanks in Advance

Hi Carlos,

Thank you for your quick reply...

It helps to show the direction.

I tried and got the most of the output except "Description Writer".

Please help to get the "Description Writer" syntax.

Success Code:

 myXmp.deleteProperty( XMPConst.NS_DC, "title" );
myXmp.appendArrayItem( XMPConst.NS_DC, "title", "HEAD", 0, XMPConst.ARRAY_IS_ORDERED );
 myXmp.deleteProperty( XMPConst.NS_DC, "creator" );
myXmp.appendArrayItem( XMPConst.NS_DC, "creator", "BBB", 0, XMPConst.ARRAY_IS_ORDERED );
myXmp.deleteProperty( XMPConst.NS_DC, "rights" );
myXmp.appendArrayItem( XMPConst.NS_DC, "rights", "CCC", 0, XMPConst.ARRAY_IS_ORDERED );

Thanks in Advance
