Importing XMP metadata using the web service API

To programmatically import XMP metadata using the XMP Utilities web service API, perform the following tasks:

1.	Include project files

•	Create a Microsoft .NET client assembly that consumes the XMP Utilities WSDL. For information, see Creating a .NET client assembly.

•	Reference the Microsoft .NET client assembly. For information, see Referencing the .NET client assembly.

2.	Create an XMPUtilityService client

Create a XMPUtilityServiceService object by using your proxy class’ constructor.

3.	Invoke the XMP metadata import operation

To modify the XMP metadata, invoke either the XMPUtilityServiceService object’s importMetadata method or its importXMP method.

If you use the importMetadata method, pass in the following values:

•	A BLOB object representing the PDF file.

•	A XMPUtilityMetadata object containing the metadata to be imported.

If you use the importXMP method, pass in the following values:

•	A BLOB object representing the PDF file.

•	A BLOB object representing an XML file containing the metadata to be imported.

In either case, the returned value is a BLOB object representing the PDF file with the newly imported metadata. You can then save this object to disk.
