Metadata options
The Metadata Options page defines metadata tags that will be added to
the output file when producing PDF and AFP output in the Output Creation Settings.
Metadata tags are ignored in all other output types, except when they are associated with Additional Content in the Print Wizard.
The tags can be added to any of these levels, as indicated by the tabs on
top: Job, Job Segment, Document, Document Set, and Page Tags.
It is important to note that if Impositioning is used then the only metadata that will be available to the job thereafter will be the metadata at Job Segment level.
When using Impositioning everything within the Segment is Impositioned, so all metadata below the Job Segment level is lost.
