Steps for adding Metadata to XLSB in Java

GroupDocs.Metadata makes it easy for Java developers to add metadata details to XLSB files from within their applications by implementing a few easy steps.

Load XLSB with an instance of Metadata class.
Use Metadata.AddProperties method to add the properties.
Use a predicate to find desired metadata properties.
Save the changes back in XLSB format.

// load the file in an instance of Metadata class
try (Metadata metadata = new Metadata("input.xlsb"))
{
    // add a property containing the content author
    int affected = metadata.addProperties(new ContainsTagSpecification(Tags.getTime().getPrinted()), 
        new PropertyValue(new Date()));

    // process operation results
    System.out.println(String.format("Affected properties: %s", affected));

    // save the file with updated metadata
    metadata.save("output.xlsb");

How to add custom metadata to TIFF image

This code sample demonstrates how to add a custom tag to an EXIF package

Java


try (Metadata metadata = new Metadata("input.tiff")) {
    IExif root = (IExif) metadata.getRootPackage();

    //  Set the EXIF package if it's missing
    if (root.getExifPackage() == null) {
        root.setExifPackage(new ExifPackage());
    }

    //  Add a known property
    root.getExifPackage().set(new TiffAsciiTag(TiffTagID.Artist, "Artist's name"));

    //  Add a fully custom property (which is not described in the EXIF specification)
    //  Please note that the chosen ID may intersect with the IDs used by some third party tools
    root.getExifPackage().set(new TiffAsciiTag(TiffTagID.getByRawValue(65523), "Hidden data"));

    metadata.save("output.tiff");
}
