Getting the data into the PDF should be quite easy with an extension. The bookmark extension is a more complicated example of the sort of thing needed.

The difficult part is creating the xmp data, whatever it is. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
