Feb 7, 2014 at 8:21 comment added PMessager @Blah238: my objectives were to 1: create a template: I had a go to the metadata editor, wanting to Change the Name of the field (box's title?) in order to match the Pdf information's categories. 2: fill the template, either automatically or by hand. --> conversion of pdf into XML
Feb 6, 2014 at 17:17 comment added matt wilkie Let me see if I have this right: you have a bunch of geometries in shapefile(?) format, that came with PDFs describing their content. You would like to extract metadata from the PDFs that can be used by ArcGIS. Yes? If so, you're likely looking for some kind of pdf2xml conversion tool, among others. Really though, without a sample of the shapefiles and accompanying documentation, or a detailed description of them, no one will be able to give specific (e.g. useful) help.
Feb 6, 2014 at 16:45 comment added blah238 What do you mean by formular? Do you just mean a form with blanks to fill in? Why not just use the ArcGIS metadata editor?

Feb 6, 2014 at 7:59 comment added PMessager Well, good question... I am new to metadata (shame on me) and wanted to start learning the steps and process with these data. But I guess, I'll Keep the learning easier and will do that another time with another dataset.

Feb 5, 2014 at 21:21 comment added blah238 This is a bad idea. Is the information you need accessible in a machine-readable format elsewhere? Do you really need to do this?
