I am using iTexSharp to update basic metadata (Title, Author, Keywords, etc.) on a bunch of PDF files. I found no easy method to edit existing XMP streams.
XmpReader with its ReplaceDescriptionAttribute() method might be the way to go, but I haven’t guessed how to use it. Sure, I could parse the metadata into a DOM, then edit, then serialize and then put it back, but that sounds like a painstaking job! Let me suggest what might improve the toolkit in this area: - An XmpWriter would be constructed from an existing XMP stream. Any added description would replace the existing value if present. - Right now the XML is only given as an array of bytes. Natural (Java/.Net) strings would spare the programmer from dealing with encoding. -- Laurent CAPRANI Montréal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Software Download: Index, Search & Analyze Logs and other IT data in Real-Time with Splunk.
