How can I embed metadata in a pdf file using Acrobat XI Pro?

Hi, everyone!
I need some info how I can put things like key words, description of the file and the like permanently in the file to let it 'travel' in the file everywhere, no matter what the OS is. I guess I should use Properties 'path' but it resembles Windows system properties, so I'm not sure. Moreover, there's so little about it in manuals....
Once I've done with it, can it be read just by Adobe Reader?
And one important thing more: is there any inner search engine inside Acrobat XI to search the files by key words and other similar metadata criteria or I'm solely dependant on the OS search function?

Thanks for the link - it sounds highly specialised, but simple experiments of opening a Properties Windows and putting some description notes and author or key word is readable by Acrobat reader or the system search engine so maybe it's not really complicated - mind you, I don't mean right-clicking on the file where options are poor and probably thode of the OS but Preferences edition after opening the document in Acrobat XI Pro - I hope this one is of Adobe and maybe I won't need Bridge to read it I know in the suggested thread it's a problem of graphics metadata within the pdf file....

    PDF files don't have one resolution, but may have none or many different resolutions, one per image. You can check the maximum/minimum resoluion with preflight in Acrobat Pro, but not in Adobe Reader.

  • How can I make some restictions in a PDF document using Acrobat 9 pro?

    Hello, I am a teacher from Spain. I am creating a PDF from a power point presentation, using Adobe Acrobat 9 pro. I will copy it in a cd and give it to my students. I would like to add these restrictions:
    I would like to avoid that they can copy this document.
    I only want to allow them to print it once.
    Thank you

    You can prevent copying of content (text and images) by setting permissions on the PDF file using Acrobat (apply password security, leaving the document open password empty).
    It is not possible to limit the number of times a PDF file is printed, no matter what settings you use. Printing can be disabled completely, or restricted to low-resolution output, but that is all. Even if it were somehow possible to restrict how many times Reader or Acrobat was allowed to print, there is no way to stop someone changing the copy number in the operating system print dialog, as that is beyond the control of any installed program. A printable PDF file can also be printed to another PDF file (called refrying), which will remove any interactive restrictions on the original.
    Note that permissions security is only respected by Adobe software. Third-party applications will often ignore the restrictions and allow all operations. The only way to truly protect the file is to apply a security method which is only found in Adobe products (such as LiveCycle policies), which will as a side-effect prevent anyone from opening the file in a third-party application that might not respect the restrictions.

      How can I rotate view of a pdf file, like in earlier versions?

    Adobe Reader Touch (Windows Store app with "Modern" UI) for Windows 8 is a relatively new product, which was introduced in December 2012.  Adobe Reader XI, X, or older is a completely separate product - a traditional desktop app with classic UI.  The desktop version has been available in the market for 20 years (!!) and it does not share any common components with Adobe Reader Touch.
    Adobe Reader Touch does not support page (view) rotation yet.
    For Windows 8, you can download and install Adobe Reader XI from the link below.

    For Windows RT, you can use Microsoft Reader (built-in PDF viewer), instead.

  • How can i change the size of PDF files ?

    how can i change the size of PDF files? when i convert documents in the acrobat browser it seems the files become larger then normal pdf files, this is, i compare with other files that people send to me and i realise that they are smaller than my converted files, even if they have more pages.

    A lot depends on the form of the PDF. Is it graphics, a scan of a text file, pure text, or other? What version of Acrobat are you working with.
    You can do a save as to get a WORD file, but do not expect great results. The ability to get a decent WORD file depends on what the form of PDF you are working from. If it was created from WORD with tags and all, you might get good results. If not, you might get a lot of messed up results.
    Explain what you are starting with and your ultimate goal. Also check the audit of the file (should be under PDF Optimize) to see where the file information is concentrated (text, fonts, graphics, other).

  • How can I perform the conversion of pdf files in Cyrillic script to Word files in Cyrillic script. The pdf file is too small for me to read right now. Julyan Watts

    How can I perform the conversion of .pdf files in Cyrillic script to Word files in Cyrillic script. The .pdf file is too small for me to read without a magnifying glass, and the document is more than one thousand pages.

    This answer was not helpful. First of all, I could not find "tech specs"
    anywhere on the Acrobat 11 homepage. And secondly I purchased this software
    for the specific purpose of converting .pdf files to Word. It was only
    after I had completed the purchase that I learnt that Acrobat does not
    permit the conversion of .pdf files in Cyrillic to Word files  in Cyrillic.
    I feel that Acrobat should have provided this crucial information before I
    allowed my credit card to be debited. That is why I  am now asking for my
    money back. But thanks for your attempt to solve my problem, even if it was
    not successful.

    PDF is an end destination format - although Acrobat is capable of making minor changes to a file (e.g. to correct typos) it is not a word processor or DTP application. Major changes must be done in the original document, and the PDF file re-exported.
    You can copy text from a file by selecting it and right-clicking, or you can save the file as plain or formatted text. To make small changes to the text on a page, use the touchup tool - see the help file for more info.

    I want  to edit bar code field data using Adobe Reader. Bar Code field was designed and data was changing using Acrobat X1 Professional (Trial Version). But can't do so in adobe reader.

    I think that product has nothing to do with it. You would use LiveCycle Reader Extensions.
