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.
