To add metadata to a document:
1 Choose File > File Info.
2 Select a category from the list on the left side of the dialog box, type the desired
metadata, and click OK.
General specifies information about the document, such as title, author, and
•
description. To specify copyright information, select Yes from the Copyrighted pop-up
menu. Then type the copyright notice string and the URL of the person or company
who owns the copyright.
Keywords specifies words that can be used to search for the document. To add a word
•
to the list, type the Keyword text box and click Add. To edit or replace a word in the list,
select the word, change the text in the Keyword text box, and click Replace. To delete a
word from the list, select the word and click Delete.
Summary specifies status information for the document, including its creation data,
•
modification data, and location. If the document is a managed file, the server location
and checkout status also appear. You cannot edit Summary metadata.
3 Click Save, and specify a filename.
4 Click OK.
To edit metadata within a document:
Do one of the following:
Select Load. With this option you can choose a metadata file embedded within the
•
document.
Select Append. With this option you can replace all blank items (and those currently
•
empty), and merge lists (like Keywords) and large text blocks (like Description) with the
contents of the chosen metadata file. All other fields are left untouched.
Using object libraries
Object libraries help you organize the graphics, text, and pages you use most often. You
can also add ruler guides, grids, drawn shapes, and grouped images to a library. You can
create as many libraries as you need—for example, you can create different object libraries
for varied projects or clients. During a work session, you can open as many libraries as
system memory will allow. Object libraries can be shared across servers, and across
platforms. If an object library includes text files, make sure that the file's fonts are available
and active on all systems that will access the library.
When you add a page element, such as a graphic, to an object library, InDesign preserves
all attributes that were imported or applied. For example, if you add a graphic from an
InDesign document to a library, the library copy will duplicate the original, including
the original's link information, so that you can update the graphic when the file on
disk changes.
If you delete the object from the InDesign document, the object's thumbnail will still
appear in the library palette, and all of the link information will remain intact. If you move
or delete the original object, a missing link icon will appear next to the object's name in
the Links palette the next time you place it in your document from the library palette.
