Add additional document details - Revision control

[matt.baker]

Are there any ways to add additional document information such as its revision and title?

I would like to add this information when I export the it as a PDF with the automatic registration marks etc. At the moment the 'Include page information' just adds the file name and artboard name (example export https://goo.gl/fCyFCI).

 

Alternatively, how do YOU manage the revisions of documents in the exported files?

 

Thanks

This answer does not involve printing metadata on the output, but only in the filename, accessible before opening. Since the filename prints, I hope it is useful to you.

 

I add a version number in the form "v00" to my working copy's filename, using a two-digit number with leading zero if necessary so that they sort in order. I have never gotten to more than 99 versions.

 

For the PDFs that I send to printer, I also add the date in the form "YYMMDD" to the filename, again so that they sort in a useful order. (I do not expect to encounter the Y2.1K problem like we had 17 years ago.)

 

In both cases, this metadata is in the filename so is accessible to everyone involved immediately. It has worked well.

This is isn't possible at the moment, sorry. Another user added this to our feature request section: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/18340-add-metadata-to-exported-pdfs-in-designer/
