Are the META tags in a pdf file visible by search engines?

I have several hundred newsletters in pdf format on a website.
I am in the process of entering META tag information (title,description,keywords) through the Properties panel of each pdf file. Is this information that will be visible by search engines in a WordPress site?
I ask, because every post in WordPress has a place to enter keyword tags. The problem I'm having in WordPress is that every post shows the tag information rather than making it invisible. If the properties information in the pdf file does the same thing, I won't bother with entering it again in WordPress.
Thanks to anyone who might have insight into this question.
Many thanks!

It is a high order probability that your SQL's report generator is creating the PDF, not Acrobat (which by design and EULA cannot be used in as/with server).
That the report generator outputs to an old-old version of PDF bears this out.
Wiki articles on PDF are very nice for those high level intro summaries.
To know / understand PDF you purchase and study the ISO Standard for PDF (ISO 32000-1:2008).
Rather than "PDF validation" you may want to consider addressing the appearent root cause of the problem(s).
You can change the email2fax application to one that can deal with older PDF versions.
You can change the report generator to one that can output to the ISO Standard.
(Perhaps the in-use application can be configured to output to the current version of PDF (i.e., the ISO Standard).
Be well...

  • What are the specs to validate a PDF file? is there a PDF validator available from Adobe?

    I have the following situation: In our company use a software product to schedule our engineers and inform our customers when one of our engineers visits them, to do this the following steps happen:
    the software product is running on a SQL server 2008 R2 database and calls a standard function from SQL server to create a PDF file (PDF version 1.3)
    Then this PDF file is attached to an Email which is then sent to our customers.
    Some customers don't use email but they use a fax. For this we have use an email2fax product from our telephone provider which translates the email to a fax.
    When the software product creates the email, attaches the PDF and sends it to the email2fax solution the attached is discarded.
    The email2fax should send the attachment as well but it's not doing that.
    When I manually send an email with an attached PDF (PDF version 1.5) the attachment is sent to the customer as a fax
    When I open the original PDF file created by SQL server and save it again as PDF version 1.5, then attach it to an email and send it to the email2fax the attachment gets send as well.
    When I open the original PDF file created by SQL server and save it again as PDF version 1.3, then attach it to an email and send it to the email2fax the attachment gets send as well.
    When we send the email from the software product, with the PDF created by SQL server in version 1.3, to another email address the attachment is included in the mail.
    some conclusions so far:
    The PDF file in version 1.3 is created in SQL server and is usable in all products which read PDF files, except in the email2fax solution
    the email to the email2fax software contains the PDF attachment
    the email2fax software can handle a PDF version 1.3 file but not the file created by SQL server.
    We gave these results to the supplier of the email2fax solution and their response is: "A PDF file is a valid PDF file when it is created by Adobe software"
    My conclusion would be that they are wrong as PDF is a standard created by Adobe but that doesn't mean other software products can't comply with this standard and create a valid PDF file, but I have no way of telling them how they are wrong and without a stronger argument I can't convince them to investigate the problem.
    extra info:
    Portable Document Format - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    My questions are now:
    Is there a PDF validation tool available from Adobe which would confirm that our PDF file generated by SQL server is a valid PDF file?
    Or
    Does anyone know if SQL server 2008R2 does create invalid PDF files and if there is a fix available to solve this behavior?
    Any help in understanding this problem is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you for your reply and your time reading this long question.
    Regards,

    I have installed Adobe Reader 11.0.07 for Mac OS 10.9.3. Have asked this question numerous time without results. The problems I am having are: I cannot scroll using the side slider on downloaded PDF files, nor can I fill in fillable files. Also, and this is extremely irritating, I cannot re-initialize the same file or initialize and another PDF file after I have initialized the first file. If you cannot help please let me know if should use an earlier  version of Reader or find anther company that has the appropriate software.

    Perhaps you missed that you started a discussion at I have OS 10.9.2 and have downloaded latest version of Reader 11. I can no longer fill in form or scroll using the side bar. and you did not respond to the last post there.

  • What are the permitted compression techniques for PDF/A-1?

    The PDF/A-1 standard does not specify how compression is performed. What are the permitted compression techniques for PDF/A-1?
    The information I have gathered (not sure if all are true)
    LZW should not be used
    JPEG2000 may not be used
    Few say, JPEG can be used but its a lossy compression. (PDF standard clearly states lossy compression can't be used)
    Also, how to figure out whether a particular file is PDF/A-1a or PDF/A-1b and what kind of compressions are used in that file?
    Thanks in advance.

    For better or worse, ISO specifications are written in a language from a parallel universe.    After dealing with ISO standards for a while, you learn what specific words really mean. I should know - I am chair of the ISO PDF/X task force and co-chair of the PDF/VT task force.
    The word should does not specify a requirement. PDF/A does not prohibit lossy compression.
    JPEG is always a lossy compression. There is a mode of JPEG2000 compression that is indeed lossless. Note that JPEG and JPEG2000 are totally different compression schemes. (I believe that PDF/A-1 as well as PDF/X-1a and PDF/X-3, based on older versions of the PDF specification do not permit JPEG2000. PDF/A-2 based on ISO32000-1 and PDF/X-4 based on PDF 1.6 do allow for JPEG2000.)
    ZIP compression is lossless.

  • Programming help - how to get the read-only state of PDF file is windows explorer preview is ON?

    Programming help - how to get the read-only state of PDF file is windows explorer preview is ON?
    I'm developing an application where a file is need to be saved as pdf. But, if there is already a pdf file with same name in the specified directory, I wish to overwrite it. And in the overwrite case, read-only files should not be overwritten. If the duplicate(old) file is opened in windows (Win7) explorer preview, it is write protected. So, it should not be overwritten. I tried to get the '
    FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY' using MS API 'GetFileAttributes', but it didn't succeed. How Adobe marks the file as read-only for preview? Do I need to check some other attribute of the file?
    Thanks!

    Divya - I have done it in the past following these documents. Please read it and try it it will work.
    Please read it in the following order since both are a continuation documents for the same purpose (it also contains how to change colors of row dynamically but I didnt do that part I just did the read_only part as your requirement)

  • How to restrict the ability to save a PDF file in Acrobat.

    Hello ! This is my first topic, evaluating to acquire Acrobat Professional 8, and I am asked if possible to restrict the ability to save a pdf file, when users are reading the file with Acrobat Reader. We are into creating a in-house document accessible to all users internally, using Acrobat Reader. I was able to restrict the printing, but I am unable to restict the saving of the file.
    Any one knows if this possible ? or not?
    Users are using Windows XP/2k
    Thanks

    Once they open it on their machine, they have a copy on that machine. They can simply move that copy to where ever they desire, making copies as they go. You can restrict copying content (though not full proof), printing, and changing the document, but not the physical file itself. Be careful with security and the assumption it fixes all your issues. PDF security is not all that secure. If you need higher levels of security, they you have to use the DRM (I think that is it) at a pretty cost.

  • What are the commands available to read a file from application server and

    What are the commands available to read a file from application server and store the file into an internal table?

    Hi,
    To read a file from an Application Server to an Object there is a command in ABAP called <b>READ DATASET</b>. After that file is transported to that object you have to do a loop and put that data in an Internal Table.
    This statement exports data from the file specified in dset into the data object dobj. For dobj, variables with elementary data types and flat structures can be specified. In Unicode programs, dobj must be character-type if the file was opened as a text file.
    For dset, a character-type data object is expected - that is, an object that contains the platform-specific name of the file. The content is read from the file starting from the current file pointer. After the data transfer, the file pointer is positioned after the section that was read. Using the MAXIMUM LENGTH addition, the number of characters or bytes to be read from the file can be limited. Using ACTUAL LENGTH, the number of characters or bytes actually used can be determined.
    In a Unicode program, the file must be opened with an arbitrary access type; otherwise, an exception that cannot be handled will be triggered.
    If the file has not yet been opened in anon-Unicode program, it will be implicitly opened as a binary file for read access using the statement
    OPEN DATASET dset FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
    . If a non-existing file is accessed, an exception that can be handled can be triggered.
    Influence of Access Type
    Files can be read independently of the access type. Whether data can be read or not depends solely on the position of the file pointer. If the latter is at the end of the file or after the file, no data can be read and sy-subrc will be set to 4.
    Influence of the Storage Type
    The import function will take place irrespective of the storage type in which the file was opened with the statement OPEN DATASET.
    If the file was opened as a text file or as a legacy text file, the data is normally read from the current position of the file pointer to the next end-of-line marking, and the file pointer is positioned after the end-of-line marking. If the data object dobj is too short for the number of read characters, the superfluous characters and bytes are cut off. If it is longer, it will be filled with blanks to the right.
    If the file was opened as a binary file or as a legacy-binary file, as much data is read that fits into the data object dobj. If the data object dobj is longer than the number of exported characters, it is filled with hexadecimal 0 on the right.
    If the specified storage type makes conversion necessary, this is executed before the assignment to the data object dobj. Afterwards, the read data is placed, byte by byte, into the data object.
    System Fields
    sy-subrc Meaning
    0 Data was read without reaching end of file.
    4 Data was read and the end of the file was reached or there was an attempt to read after the end of the file.
    Thanks,
    Samantak.

  • How to download the blocked ALV output to PDF file.

    How to download the blocked ALV output to PDF file.
    I am able to download the BLocked ALV output in PDF format,
    but the each bolck in ALV is displaying different pages of PDF.
    In my report I have 4 block in 1 page, I am able to see the output in PDF but in different page.
    How to avoid the Page-break in PDF.
    Thanks,
    Ravi Yasoda.

    hi,
    I believe that your have 4 containers on the screen with individual ALV display. in this case, there is no way to get combined PDF output to my knowledge.
    However you can use Smartform/Sapscript as output which would allow you to display ALV in blocks and also print it in one.

  • How to print the mirror image of a pdf file?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if it is possible to print the mirror image of a pdf file? I could have sworn I have done this before in an older version of Acrobat.
    I am currently working with Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Professional.
    Thank you,
    Tina

    I just tested this and it worked fine for me.
    When you select to print the cropped page, in the print dialog will be a thumbnail of what is about to be printed. Does this display just the cropped portion or the whole page?

  • Unable to make Acrobat X the default handler/opener of PDF files on a Windows 8 laptop with Acrobat Reader also installed.

    I have a user with a Windows 8 Sony Vaio laptop with Microsoft Office 2013 Professional, Acrobat X Standard, and Acrobat Reader installed. Another program on his system requires Acrobat Reader so we cannot just remove that and keep it off the system. Regardless of what he does to set the default program to open PDF files with, when he opens a PDF file it always opens it in Acrobat Reader and not Acrobat itself. We have re-associated it and set the default program handling repeatedly and have also tried complete uninstall and reinstall of both Acrobat and Acrobat Reader which had no effect on this. At this point I am of the opinion that this is a bug and the file association is being overridden somewhere in the registry besides the file association entries. Any help is appreciated.

    The only supported way to set the default handler (besides the Wizard and cmd line properties) is via the UI at Edit > Preferences > General > Default PDF Handler. The installer has to be invoked and many registry entries get touched during the switching process.
    You should also verify your dot versions of the product support Windows 8: Overview — Acrobat and Adobe Reader Release Notes.
    Finally, while you Acrobat 10 should work with Reader 11, try reverting to Reader 10 (that should be your last resort).

  • Preview: In a group of PDF files in the same window, going to the next or a previous PDF file displays the bottom of PDF by default, not the top. How do you change this?

    Preview: In a group of PDF files in the same window, going to the next or a previous PDF file displays the bottom of PDF page by default, not the top of the PDF page. How do you change this? In Mac OS 10.9 and previous, going to the next or previous PDF file displays the top of the PDF by default. Is there a way to change this back? When I go to the next or previous PDF file, I want to first view the top of the page, not the bottom. This really doesn't make any sense. Any help? Thanks!
