Is there a way to set up a text variable to get the metadata from the InDesign document itself? I’m trying to set up a template that “encourages” people to edit the File Info by using text placeholders for the document Title, Author and Subject/Description. If there is a way it might be useful to distinguish between the two.

So the choices for the Metadata caption variables are exactly the same as the ones in the Live Caption Setup dialog box … except they’re listed in a diff order.

And the same Live Caption tricks apply .. after you create your text frame w/the variables, you can add it to a Library for easy reuse in other INDD files. And to get it to show data for a picture without having to overlap the image, just Group the frame with the image frame.
