Capturing TIFF metadata
Building from the same basic structure as the file system metadata gatherer (http://logik.com/whats_new/entry/capturing_file_system_metadata/), we can incorporate functionality to pull information from within the file. Once documents have been reviewed and produced, it is very common for them to be converted from their native or ‘dynamic’ form into a more static page-oriented form such as a TIF image. When the number of pages in a production approaches the millions, it becomes impossible to check every file for small details like compression, page orientation and resolution. Using the ‘for’ loop from the previous example and incorporating a third-party will make it possible to quickly generate a useful summary of all TIF images in a folder.Read more
