💖 Image::...InDesign 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and it's all about Image::...InDesign — yes the name literally has three dots in it, no that's not a typo, that's just how it is, we love her for it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Image::ExifTool::InDesign — read/write meta information in Adobe InDesign files 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

So like, this module isn't a "you run it yourself" situation. It's used by Image::ExifTool. That's the whole vibe. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

This module has all the routines that Image::ExifTool needs to read XMP meta information out of Adobe InDesign files. The file extensions in question are .IND, .INDD and .INDT — those three, periodt. 🌸

🚧 LIMITATIONS 🚧

okay now the part where we keep it real, because I love you and I'm not gonna let you find this out the hard way 😭

  1. Only XMP meta information is processed. That's it, that's the one thing. Don't come looking for other stuff here. 🙈
  2. A new XMP stream may not be created. So real talk: XMP tags can only be written to InDesign files that previously contained XMP. If it never had XMP, you're not adding it, bestie. The door's closed. 🔒
  3. File sizes greater than 2 GB are supported only if the system supports them and the LargeFileSupport option is enabled. Two conditions, both required, no exceptions. ⭐
