Reply To: Populate metadata fields by tagging text or paragraph style?

I'd be interested in something like this, too. Part of the trouble with XMP metadata is it's so subtle that just remembering to insert and proof it isn't easy. I'd love to automagically insert Title and Author from paragraph styles for same, and I could see a non-printing element on opening pages where I could put and view the Keywords going into XMP.

Unfortunately, XMP metadata doesn't come up very often over on Adobe's InDesign forum, but I notice that today there is this thread<https://forums.adobe.com/thread/786176?tstart=0&#62;, albeit on a different aspect. That's enough to suggest scripting is the way to go, in which case it should be worth looking in on Adobe's InDesign Scripting forum. There the granddaddy of InDesign scripting, Olav Kvern, pointed in the general direction in this thread<https://forums.adobe.com/thread/541175&#62; from late 2009. Given the forums' limited searching capability, you might want to Google<[terms you want to search on] “InDesign Scripting > Discussions” site:forums.adobe.com/thread/>.

Good luck,
David
