Acrobat X and XI - SharePoint Integration - Not Supporting SharePoint Fields Keywords and Comments

Question

Hi there,
Only a limited number of our staff have access to Acrobat, but they all have access to Acrobat Reader X.
When users use ‘Save As’ to save PDF files directly to a SharePoint 2007 Document Library, they are correctly requested to complete SharePoint meta-data, following selecting the appropriate Content Type.
All of the required meta-data is present with the exception of SharePoint’s built-in Columns ‘Keywords’ and ‘Comments’ (both multi-line text Columns).
All of the Columns which we have defined are present, including multi-line text Columns.
‘Keywords’ is a required Column for all of our documents and hence users cannot check-in their PDF documents.
I know of others who have experienced this problem, and testing at home confirms that the problem also presents with SharePoint 2010.
I have been eagerly awaiting the release of Acrobat and Acrobat Reader XI. Alas, the issue remains.
Thank you,

Hi mchagar <http://forums.adobe.com/people/mchagar> ,
Thanks for your reply!!
Because we have tens of thousands of existing items and documents which use SharePoint’s default Keywords, and many document libraries, we are keen to wait for an Adobe solution.
We are aware that we could create an additional column and copy Keywords to the new column. It is simply a large amount of work in a Corporate Environment, for no reason.
Hopefully Adobe will improve their products to include support for built-in SharePoint fields.
We’ll wait a bit longer.
Thank you,
