New Application Note Illuminates PDF’s Flexible Options for Custom Metadata
The PDF Association has released a new Application Note titled “Including Custom Metadata Structures in PDF.”
This document addresses the need for organizations to use custom metadata beyond standard XMP schemas in their PDF workflows. It provides guidance on designing custom metadata schemas, embedding them interoperably, best practices for versioning and extensibility, and strategies for exposing metadata to applications and tools.
The document’s objective is to enhance interoperability and efficiency by allowing custom metadata to travel seamlessly within PDF documents, eliminating the need for separate “sidecar files.”
The Note is now available on the PDF Association website.
