PDF METADATA AND ITS CONVERSION TO XJDF
Thomas Hoffman-Walbeck · 2018
In this paper, we show an example of how a product description such as the specifications of the print substrate can be embedded as metadata in a PDF file using a well-documented technology for variable data printing.We demonstrate the corresponding data structures in PDF.Moreover, we are explaining how these structures can be integrated in a PDF file and retrieved afterwards with a JAVA program.In addition, this metadata is converted into XJDF, which can be passed on to a commercially available workflow management system.The basic structure of XJDF is explained as well as its generation with JAVA.
