Adding IPTC file information

You can use the IPTC (International Press Telecommunications Council) Xtra to include information, such as author, copyright, creation date, headline, caption, and other data, with files you export from FreeHand. You add the file information in FreeHand using the File Info dialog box. The information is preserved with the file and can be viewed when the file is opened in an application that supports IPTC data.

To add file information using the IPTC Xtra:

1

With a file open in FreeHand, choose Xtras > Other > File Info.

2

In the File Info dialog box, enter information for categories in the Origin, Credits, Caption, and Categories and Keywords sections.

Note: The IPTC determines data restrictions, including character limits, for the data text box in the File Info dialog box. For detailed information, see IPTC documentation at http://www.iptc.org.
