Is there any Possibility to add metadata to the asset/pdf

Experience Manager (PaaS/OnPrem)
1

Hello All,

We have requirement where end user will be consuming the PDF’s which are available in Bloomreach CMS assets via below mentioned URL.

Url: www.domainname.com/binaries/content/assets/channel-folder/sub-folder/sub-child-folder/sample.pdf

To the above PDF is there any possibility of adding metadata to the PDF ?

Note: We are trying to avoid creating metadata document type and link pdf to the metadata document.

Could you please let me know if there are any other possibilities.

Thanks!!

I believe you should be able to add extra properties to assets itself by extending default assets document type,still, you are serving a binary file (unless you want to embed meta data into PDF directly…for that you can use Implement a Custom File Upload Preprocessor - Bloomreach Experience Manager (PaaS/Self-Hosted) - The Fast and Flexible Headless CMS )

In addition to what @machak said, you can add properties to the asset in the cms. It works the same as an image or a document. It does require some understanding of how the namespaces and editor templates work. This is not really documented anywhere so figuring that out will be a challenge…
