Questions waiting for the right answers ....

Post by old.pdf.user »

I am adjusting to using PDF Editor and have a few questions:

1). In the 'Document Metadata' in the ‘Description’ tab what does 'Author title' mean?
Is it Dr., Eng., Dipl., Owner, Lessee, Leaser, etc.?

2). What does 'Description Writer' mean?

3). On the right, every field has a dimmed down arrow button. What is it for and how to make it work?

4). At ‘Copyright Status’, if ‘Public domain’ is selected, what to write in the ‘Copyright Notice’ field?

5). Clicking on the 'Advanced' tab, I see two URLs, one is
http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/
the other one is http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/

The first one, redirected to an Adobe page, the second one redirected to a 'Page not found'
"The requested URL "dublincore.org" cannot be found or is not available. Please check the spelling or try again later."

What are those two links for?

Looking forward to reading your replies.

Thanks.

Metadata in PDF is an XML stream and the grammar/syntax of this XML is eXtensible Metadata Platform (XMP).
More details about XMP can be found here- https://www.adobe.com/products/xmp/.
As you will see - in the metadata, different types of information can be stored.
Please note, the Editor does support custom XMP panels where a user can specify a different information about the document.

About URLs on the 'Advanced' tab - URLs are used in XML to describe namespaces and they are not required to use URLs to the real resources (more details you can find here: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/).

Hope that helps

Thank you for replying, but I still need your expert answer to these topics:

1). In the 'Document Metadata' in the ‘Description’ tab what does 'Author title' mean?
Is it Dr., Eng., Dipl., Owner, Lessee, Leaser, etc.?

2). What does 'Description Writer' mean?

3). On the right, every field has a dimmed down arrow button. What is it for and how to make it work?

4). At ‘Copyright Status’, if ‘Public domain’ is selected, what to write in the ‘Copyright Notice’ field?

Hi old.pdf.user,

Thanks for the post!
1). In the 'Document Metadata' in the ‘Description’ tab what does 'Author title' mean? Is it Dr., Eng., Dipl., Owner, Lessee, Leaser, etc.?
Yes, it would be something like Mr., Ms., Mr.s, Dr., etc.
2). What does 'Description Writer' mean?
This is the field for the name of the person that wrote the document description.
3). On the right, every field has a dimmed down arrow button. What is it for and how to make it work?
These are placeholders for a feature that has yet to implemented. When implemented, this will function as a kind of "Recents List" for document metadata tags.
4). At ‘Copyright Status’, if ‘Public domain’ is selected, what to write in the ‘Copyright Notice’ field?
What's placed in here is entirely up to the author/copyright holder and we can't really comment/advise on the necessary copyright notes. This is up to the author to determine. If you're not the author or copyright holder, or are not editing at the behest of the author/copyright holder, this isn't something that should be edited.

Hope that helps!
