I'm thinking of making a photo portfolio in InDesign and I have the following functionality in mind:
First I would make a document of several pages containing placeholder images. Each page has a fullpage photograph with a small black rectangle on the side, overlapping the photo a bit. This rectangle should contain three text-boxes with the following information:
- Title
- Location
- Year
This data is already present in the photographs EXIF info. Is there a way to automatically read these entries from the photograph that will replace each placeholder on the page and place them in the three text-boxes in the black rectangle?
I haven't tried anything yet as I have no idea where to start. I have used InDesign before, so the basics are more or less clear to me. I have InDesign 5.5 at my disposal on Mountain Lion 10.8.2
