Question

Insert the same metadata to multiple files

Hi, I need to insert metadata (always the same) in multiple PDF files. Is it possible to do this in one action for all files, or am I forced to do it for each individual file? I use Adobe Acrobat Pro.

I'm Italian, please sorry for my bad english

    Yes, this can be done using the Action Wizard.

    Which specific metadata properties do you want to set?

      I need to enter the following metadata:

      - title

      - author

      - subject

      - keywords

      OK, then create an Action that executes this script:

       

      this.info.Title = "New Title";
this.info.Author = "New Author";
this.info.Author = "New Author";
this.info.Subject = "New Subject";
this.info.Keywords = "Keyword1,Keyword2,Keyword3";

       

      Make sure to tick off the "Prompt User" check-box under the "Execute JavaScript" command, and to add a Save command, and then just run this Action on your files.
