What it does
Selects if document metadata is inconsistent, i.e. if the metadata values are not identical in
the different metadata locations.
How it works
There are two metadata locations in a PDF file:
- The info dictionary contains information about the file, such as the
title, the author, the creation date ... and is visible through the file's
Document properties. It's not in XML format.
- The XMP metadata stream also contains information about the file, but
this information is represented as XMP metadata - XMP referring to Adobe's
labeling technology Extensible Metadata Platform. All
information in the info dictionary is also represented in the XMP metadata
stream dictionary, in the form of XMP properties.
Inconsistencies may occur when only one of the metadata locations has been updated.
Extra checks
Optionally you can make the selection only if metadata in one location (selected from the
list) is also present in the other location; if all metadata should be present in
both locations, select any metadata location.
If multiple creators should not be considered an inconsistency, select the
Allow multiple creators checkbox.
