Hi Mike

Thanks for fixing the page. I'll have a go at working the batch processing bit and see what happens. We have Photoshop 7 and Acrobat 6 pro - hopefully one or other will be able to do something batch-like.

If you go back to it, a couple of other things to have a look at. First, the links to extra text in the "More Information" hidden area (e.g. "copyright", "year of copyright") don't point to anything - you get a pop up saying "file not found" if you click on them. Second, if you click on one of the 'more info' links higher up the page, you get strange HTML stuff appearing at top of pop up box that appears (looks like the tag for an img that is being interpreted at text).

Best regards

It is suggested on the CC site that there is a template that can be obtained - but the description of how to obtain it is confusing (http://creativecommons.org/technology/xmp-help refers to step 3 in the license procedure - something that doesn't seem to exist when you follow the link).

Sorry, the XMP link got lost in a UI redesign, which also reduced the steps involved. I re-added the link and modified xmp-help accordingly.

The same description suggests that bulk changes are possible via Photoshop. Is this something that will work for PDF files, or just photoshop format files? Also - the edit ~ metadata menu options relating to metadata illustrated in the description - presumably they appear once you have done the work with the XMP templates? Or do I need to do something to enable this? Or is this something that doesn't work in PS7?

The current version Photoshop can bulk tag any XMP supported file, including PDF. Several other and older Adobe products have low level XMP support, but AFAIK none has a UI for XMP tagging. I know several organizations that would like to have a command line XMP in PDF tool...

If by chance you're using pdflatex see http://www.math.utah.edu/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/xmpincl/
