Export metadata as an XMP file
You can save metadata in an XMP file to share with other users. These XMP files can be used as templates for populating
InDesign documents and other documents created with XMP-enabled applications. Templates you export are stored in
a shared location that all XMP-enabled applications can access. They also appear in the pop-up menu at the bottom of
the File Infodialog box.
1 Choose File >File Info (InDesign) or File > Content File Info (InCopy).
2 Choose Export from the pop-up menu at the bottom of the dialog box.
3 Type a filename, choose a location for the file, and click Save.
To view metadata templates in Explorer (Windows) or the Finder (Mac OS), click the pop-up menu at the bottom
of the File Info dialog box and choose Show Templates Folder.
Import metadata from an XMP file
When you import metadata into a document from an exported XMP template file, you can specify whether to clear all
metadata in the current document and add the new metadata, keep all but the matching metadata, or add matching
metadata to the existing metadata.
Choose File >File Info (InDesign) or File > Content File Info (InCopy).
Choose an XMP file from the pop-up menu at the bottom of the dialog box, select an import option, and click
OK.
Choose Import from the pop-up menu at the bottom of the dialog box, select an import option, and click OK.
Then double-click the XMP template file you want to import.
Edit metadata in image files
When you generate captions of placed images in InDesign, the metadata from the placed image is used. Although you
can edit the metadata of InDesign documents, you cannot edit the metadata of placed files in InDesign. Instead, change
the metadata of placed images using their original applications, using Finder or Explorer, or using Adobe Bridge or
Adobe Mini Bridge.
1 In InDesign, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the image, and then choose Edit Original.
You can also choose Edit With and then choose an application such as Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop.
2 In the original application, choose File > File Info.
3 Edit the metadata, and then click OK.
You can also select an image in Adobe Bridge and choose File > File Info to edit the image metadata. See Add metadata
using the File Info dialog box.
