Automated embedded of metadata into PDFs via /r/pdf


Automated embedded of metadata into PDFs

I am an archivist, and we create metadata for PDFs in excel. We convert these to tab-delimited text files in order to batch upload files to our content management system. The excel also acts as an inventory.

It seems to be a best practice to embed the metadata directly into the file. We enter some metadata under the description tab, and the rest under the custom tab: https://www.teachucomp.com/wp-content/uploads/blog-10-26-2018-addmetadatatoapdfinacrobat-1024x577.png

We do this by copying and pasting from the excel. Is there an automatic way to get the data from the excel file into the PDF? Someone I know uses software to embed xml files into TIFF (I think… I don’t understand it well).

Thank you
