Metadata Automation with priint:comet | General & features

Metadata Automation with priint:comet enables the integration of metadata in InDesign image placeholders via priint:comet either statically or from Centric PXM™ attributes. Depending on the data source, the data can also be integrated on a language-dependent basis. These functions make the module an important element on the way to accessible PDF/UA documents.

Suitable for

• Centric PXM™ | SaaS

• Centric PXM™ | On-premise

Preconditions

• priint:comet

• priint:comet plug-in version 5.0 R35020 or higher

• Centric PXM™ version 24 or higher

Function

• A script started by the user in InDesign runs through all image frames in InDesign.

• If an image is present in a frame, the data source is queried.

• The alternative text is determined from the configured attribute and placed directly into the image. If no attributes have been maintained, a defined text can be output.

Advantages

• Automation: Reduces manual work, and consequently saves time.

• Performance: Image data does not have to be downloaded again.

• Data quality: Maintenance of alternative texts directly in Centric PXM™.

• Languages: Option for language-dependent alternative texts.

• Security: Option to define fallbacks for the alternative texts.

• Flexibility: Images without placeholders can also obtain alternative texts from Centric PXM™.

• Convenience: Configuration directly in Centric PXM™

Use cases

• Support for accessible PDFs from InDesign

• If no attributes are maintained, defined texts can be added to images. Example: Placed images that are not available in the Centric PXM™ system

• Maintenance of alternative texts for the images directly in Centric PXM™
