Hello all I am using the XMP Toolkit SDK to try to attach an XMP file to a pdf. I am unable to add the XMP data to some pdf file. Those pdf file does not contains the xmppacket, so the "XMP_MethodIntro(TXMPFiles,bool)::CanPutXMP ( const SXMPMeta & xmpObj )" method returns false. If i open the pdf in adobe reader and then try to insert the XMP data it is successful. Is there any workaround or fix for this to do it using XMP Toolkit SDK. 

 

Need some help

Hi @bala_bk,

 

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

 

As mentioned in the description that Acrobat is working fine, we will not be help you with third-party applications.

 

I will leave the thread open for other users to add their opinions here.

    Hi @S. S , But the issue is with the adobe XMP Toolkit and not any third party application. When i use AdobeXMP Toolkit i am unable to add custom metadata to certain pdf which does not already have XML metadata.
