inukshuk, I think you mentioned earlier that there is a way to conceal the photo metadata template when I create a pdf of the Tropy project (without actually deleting the template). Simply, I would like each page to display just the generic template and my notes for each item. I’ve attached a sample page of my project to show how it all appears at the moment (including the photo template).
Is this adjustment something that a novice user could manage?
Again, thank you for any advice.

Hi,
in order to hide the photo metadata in print you can simply add this style.css (148 Bytes)
file to your User-Data folder (Help > Show User-Data Folder). In case you already have custom styles, just copy the content of the file above to your style.css.
Thanks for this, flachware. I’m afraid I still have to ask some absolutely rookie questions:
- I’ve downloaded the style.css file - just to confirm: I now simply drag the file into the User-Data folder? Is there anything else I have to do? (I don’t have any existing custom styles created).
- As a result of doing this, will the photo template just “disappear” from the pdf when I next export images from the project? As a matter of interest, will this template also disappear from the project itself?
Yes, you simply drag the file into the User-Data folder. And then you have to restart Tropy. These custom styles just hide the photo metadata section in PDFs, it does not affect the project at all.
Thank you - that’s worked a treat! Your help is really appreciated.
Hello,
I am trying to hid all of the metadata (the item, photo, and notes metadata) and have the pdf be a full page.
I tried the style.css sheet you shared in May 2023, but it only removes photo metadata.
Could you share a style.css that removes ALL the metadata?
Many thanks.
Hi,
to hide all the metadata in PDFs go to Preferences > Settings > Print and uncheck Include metadata.
Ah, wonderful, much easier thank you.
