Some ideas for using the XMP Creator metadata (name, title, e-mail, address, website) that can be attached to Adobe files such as PDF, Illustrator, and PSD. Obviously, this type of thing would work for any file containing such metadata.

  • File metadata in a PDF file:
    File metadata in Adobe Bridge
  • Contextual menu commands exposing the metadata:
    A contextual menu with metadata-based actions

Another variation…

  1. Open the file in a PDF reader and select some text:
    Contextual menu with metadata-related commands
  2. A message opens with the text pasted as a quote:
    Mail message with fields filled based on metadata
