callas pdfDPartner displays
the PDF-document's DPart information.
callas pdfDPartner is a free plug-in to Adobe® Acrobat that allows
for viewing DPart metadata as may present in PDF documents.
A new standard, Document Part Metadata (DPM),
combines the use of DPart information with a print intent vocabulary,
so parts of PDF files can be labeled with origin or intent information.
DPart is a metadata hierarchy that can be present in a PDF file to
provide additional information associated with pages or groups of pages.
DPart metadata is associated with pages or page ranges
(specified first in PDF/VT and then also in PDF 2.0).
DPart is intended to be used in automation to allow for
processing pages in the same PDF in different ways.
Ultimately, the purpose of DPart information is to be used
automatically in workflows under software control.
Yet being able to accurately see the data available in a PDF document
greatly helps while building DPart capable software and while
envisioning automation scenarios and building workflows.
Sadly, a viewer for DPart information in a PDF file was so far lacking.
The possibilities for print automation are huge, and callas software
provides callas pdfDPartner as a free software tool to help you to
understand what DPart information is contained in a PDF.

With callas pdfDPartner, if a PDF file has DPart metadata,
it is possible to display the metadata hierarchy.
This way you can quickly and easily browse the full document and also
see the various DPart metadata available for the pages in the document.
When clicking on a metadata entry the associated page is displayed
in Adobe Acrobat.
