Hi, I need to add metadata on 100+ documents for three different products. Is it a script that I can run on them instead of manually adding meta doc title and author 1 by 1?
For exmaple, the file name is TEST_document_form.pdf, title will need to be TEST document form, and author will be TEST. Basically, same file name for title but without the underscores and '.pdf.' (See screenshot). I have three product names for 'author' (i.e. TEST), I will need to be to able amend this in the script.
These documents will be updated from time to time, so I'm looking for an efficient way to maintain.
I have seen people post scripts in replies, but I'm not sure how to save it as a script file? i.e copy the code from broswer, then where do I paste to re-save and what format? Apologises if this is silly but I'm new to scripts and couldn't quite understand it from other posts.
Many thanks for any help in advance.
You discovered a bug in the script (Thank you!), and I fixed it. Here’s a new version.
Version 5.0 ‘thought’ it was an IDML file (not saved file yet), so it added the superfluous extension. This version adds it only if it is missing and explicitly writes into the log if the file is converted from IDML/an older version.
Does it work for you now properly?
