Thank you for helping!

Hi, thanks for using PhotoTags-Synchronizer

Seems Microsoft don't support writing Xtra Atom to PDF files. Microsoft Xtra Atom is an old windows standard from Microsoft to store information on media files, and is more or less not supported anymore.

When writing to the Media files and also PDF files, the program uses EXIFtool to write standard xmp information to the file, in addition use Windows functions to write Microsoft Xtra Atoms

What I can see, you get a warning that writing Xtra Atoms fails, but that doesn’t mean Exiftool failed to write your data.

I tested with a PDF file adding Keywords, and it worked for me, even though I got the warning.

You can turn off writing Xtra Atoms under config.
Open config, select “Metadata” tab. Turn off: “Write Windows Xtra Atoms on Videos and Picture files”.

If you know Exiftool, you can even change how PhotoTags-Synchronizer should write data back to the PDF files. Open config, select the “Metadata” tab, then select “How to write Metadata”.

I hope this helped.

If you still have issue, please let me know. Maybe you can share files you have issue with.
