Aandi,

Essentially, I'm adding tracing data using XMP for the purpose of automation. That's why I need to add the metadata directly to PostScript. What isn't clear to me is how to manipulate the code in the XMP spec such that the XMP packet is actually embedded into the PostScript file. I know that if I first post the metadata to PDF and then print to PostScript, the metadata lives in the header of the file. I actually concatenate many documents into one large file, so according to the vendor that will be reading this data, that isn't an option. I actually need to embed the metadata in the body of the document itself.

Obviously when I distill, a PDF is generated. Can you please tell me what I need to do to get the code into the PostScript document itself using XMP? This obviously highlights my inexperience with PostScript programming, so please forgive my inept ability to resolve this given your most recent posts.

Thanks so much for your help!
Tim
