Get OutputIntent of incoming PDF/X

tkittel · Post by **tkittel** » Fri Dec 09, 2011 6:05 pm

Hello Switch-Users,

I'd like to read the OutputIntent of incoming pdf files within a flow and add it to the job's metadata. In the user guide I haven't found anything like this.

Is this a 'known variable' of switch or what is the right keyword to search for? (if not 'output intent')

Thanks in advance!

Thomas

Switch doesn't have a mechanism for extracting the PDF/X OutputIntent profile; however, you can use Apago's PDFspy. It extracts a wide variety of metadata including the OutptutIntent profiles into XML format. There's a built-in Configurator for PDFspy in PowerSwitch.

metadata path is: "/pdfattrs/OutputIntents/v0"
