The ExtractIPTCToField import option instruct II2LN to extract any potential IPTC information in the image to either one field, or a separate field per IPTC tag- and value pair. This is very similar to the ExtractEXIFToField import option.

Parameters:

Description |
<fieldname> |
The field name in your Notes document to store the multivalue text field, containing all the IPTC tag- and value pairs. |
<split> |
The optional SPLIT instruct II2LN to create a separate field per IPTC tag- and value pair. II2LN will use the <fieldname> as a prefix for all the IPTC tags. For example, if the <fieldname> is IPTC, the caption tag (IPTC tag 120) has this field name:
Note that all fields are text. |
<both> |
The optional BOTH instruct II2LN to both create one IPTC field and create a separate field for each tag |
Notes:
The IPTC tags are referenced by its IPTC tag name. See The most common IPTC tags for a list of IPTC tags. Note that you also can use the IPTC names to modify IPTC values with the ReplaceIPTC, AppendIPTC and InsertIPTC import options.
Also see the ExtractEXIFToField-samples to see how the data is stored when using one field versus many fields.
