Selects the document if metadata streams defined in the PDF do not conform to the XMP schema.

About XMP metadata streams

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.
