XMP metadata
We have a project at work to scan in a large number of paper files. We got a very cool scanner from Xerox (it scans 50 pages a minute in duplex) and now armed with the latest Acrobat are off on our task.
Today I started to learn about the Adobe’s Extensible Metadata Platform which is an easy way to add XML metadata to your files. I downloaded the free tool MetaLab from Pound Hill Software to create an XMP custom dialog and put it right in Acrobat’s document properties. Now when we scan a document in we can control-d and click advanced and store the extra accounting metadata that we want. Now the theory goes that later when we get a XMP document management tool all our work will come to fruition with our new rich documents.
The next step I have is to figure out how to have Acrobat OCR our PDFs in the background, it should be fun.
