From: Bella Jones on 24 Apr 2008 11:54 A friend of mine (has iMac with leopard, iPhoto etc) has a vast collection of old prints & graphics that he wants photographed and logged. He has iPhoto, where he stores images now. He also has Delicious Library. He has Adobe Acrobat. (He has never heard of Graphic Converter) What he hasn't managed to find so far is an app where he can embed info about the artist (name, date, type of pic) into the image, which he also wants saved as pdf. He also wants to be able to have encrypted info, like value. I'm sure I'm missing the obvious, but what would you do? -- bellajonez at yahoo dot co dot uk

In Leopard when you you use Print to PDF, the save dialog has 4 text fields (Title, Author, Subject, Keywords) and a Security Options button which lets you prevent people editing the PDF unless they know the right password. Could he use that feature? If he's got the full version of Acrobat Pro, then there's probably a feature in there which will let him set the same sort of things. I don't have Acrobat Pro so couldn't say where to look. However I believe that PDF uses quite a weak crypto algorithm, so none of this is terribly secure. Cheers, Chris

Some EXIF information is usually embedded in JPEG files by digital cameras - date, exposure and so on - but their are also fields for descriptions and copyright. There are command line tools for reading and setting the information, eg exiv2, and no doubt there are graphical tools as well. >which he also wants saved as pdf. PDF can also have embedded information. Preview only seems to let you change the keywords (Tools > Get Info). Whether anything that converts between JPEG and PDF tranfers the added information is another matter. -- Richard -- :wq

Thanks guys I've opened a sample jpeg in GC. If i put some comments in the 'Info' box, in the 'Comment' bit, what other apps could see it? -- bellajonez at yahoo dot co dot uk |
