XMP Publisher for Adobe Illustrator

*New field data types including dependent dropdowns, checkboxes, and multi-line text boxes!*

A picture is worth a thousand words and now with E-Spec’s XMP Publisher, it is worth even more.

With XMP Publisher, when an image is created in Adobe Illustrator, information is captured up front and embedded within the image. This embedded information, called XMP metadata, stays with the image as it travels throughout your organization. This metadata can then be used for searching, cataloging, or feeding to other systems or users who access that digital file. As the information is updated, the updates follow the image and flow accordingly to your business rules.

XMP Publisher is engineered to watch for specific predefined locations on the user’s computer or network and upon saving of an Illustrator file to one of those locations, a window will pop up allowing the user to enter the required metadata which is embedded into the file. The process is seamless to the end user and facilitates the information flow as soon as it is known at the point of origin. There is no need to wait until a style has been further developed and then have to rush to get everything done.

The information captured is determined by you. What information is important to your organization? The metadata can be anything from a simple description to a complete listing of the creative work. The type of data can be free text, date and time, selections from a pre-defined list, or even a reference to an external list from a file or database. XMP Publisher allows you to plug it in and configure to meet your companies specific data requirements.

Make your images worth more than a thousand words with E-Spec’s XMP Publisher.
