Meta tage in PDF files

is there a tool that will generate Meta Tag data in existing PDF files?
I do know how to do it manually but literally have a bunch of pdf files to edit and a tool that what would at least get me close would be a big help.
If you are wondering "why bother", the answer is that I'm not sure other than the Google bot seems to be scanning pdf files on my site pretty often and my guess is that Meta data can't hurt.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,
There are two ways you could go about doing this. One is to use a Batch Process, assuming the metadata for all the files is the same. This can be done with Acrobat Pro with no additional tools required.
A second way would be to use a custom JavaScript automation solution. The metadata is in two locations in the JavaScript model- the doc.metadata and the doc.info property. There is already a tool at
pdfscripting.com that incorporates both a custom toolbar button and dialog in Acrobat for entering metadata one file at a time. You could use this tool directly or modify it and it is a good example of using these properties. However, you have to be a member of the site in order to download this tool.
If you have a good understanding of JavaScript you could create this solution yourself, but it is not a lighweight task.
Hope this helps,

  • Edit Microsoft Sharepoint Meta Tags of PDF File inside Adobe Acrobat

    Hi,
    we are using in our company Microsoft Sharepoint for Document Management. In this System we have several Document Libraries where we upload our PDF Files.
    In Microsoft Office 2007 it is possible to change the Meta Data of a Office File directly inside e.g. Word. This is very handy for the user, cause he is able to read or change his document and make changes to the meta tags at the same time.
    Now my question:
    Is it possible (perhaps with an 3rd Party AddIn) to show a "Panel" inside Adobe Acrobat which shows these Sharepoint Meta Tags and makes it possible to change these?
    regards

  • Automatically Tagged the PDF files Created from Templates

    I have some PDF templates which have texts, fields, table, or lines in it. They are made accessible by tagging manually and creating special reading order when press tab through the pages.
    After run a program which uses Adobe FdfApp and FdfDoc object to add data in the fields of the templates and save as an fdf file, then use CAcroAVDoc / CAcroPDDoc object convert fdf file to a PDF file. This PDF file will keep special reading order when press tab through the pages, but no Tag. (Tagged PDF: is No).
    Is there a way can keep the tag of PDF templates, after run FdfApp? If not, how automatically to create the PDF file tag or import tag from its template?

    No, the process of importing an FDF into a PDF does not maintain any tagging.

  • Searching For Keywords embedded in metadata tags of PDF files

    We have a large number of Adobe Acrobat PDF files that were converted from paper documents a number of years ago that we would like to store in OCS Content Services. They were bitmap imaged, so they are not OCR-readable.
    We had already embedded keywords in the metadata tag fields associated with the PDF file, but the Ultrasearch Engine in OCS does not appear to "see" them. Is there anyway to tune Ultrasearch so that it can search these fields?
    Thanks!
    Mark

    it calls for me to print out the line that the keyword is on. Is there an easy way to change what i already have to implement that or should i start from scratch again?Well, I haven't taken the time to read all your code to see exactly what you are doing, but it does look a little to complicated to me. I think I would simply read one line at a time from the file and search that line for keywords. This [url http://javaalmanac.com/egs/java.io/ReadLinesFromFile.html]link shows the general structure.

  • Meta Tags von PDF Dateien im Windows Explorer

    Und zwar habe ich meinen PDF Dateien mit dem Programm "PDF Explorer" benutzerdefinierte Meta Tags zugeordnet. Im Windows Explorer werden diese aber nicht angezeigt. Im Adobe Acrobat Pro bei den Eigenschaften jedoch schon. Hat jemand ne Lösung wie man die Meta Daten im Explorer anzeigen lassen kann, um z.b. danach sortieren zu können?

    Windoof zeigt schon seit Vista PDF-Thumbnails nativ an. Das hat mit Adobe recht wenig zu tun. Allerdings hängt es von ein paar Details der PDFs selber ab, wie dem Umstand, dass sie eine eingebettete Seitenvorschau haben müssen. Könnte auch einfach sein, dass sich irgendein Programm die Verknüpfung mit PDFs geschnappt hat und es deshalb nicht mehr funktioniert...

  • Problems tagging pdf files

    I have tried tagging a pdf file which has been sent to me but I keep getting the following error:
    Acrobat was unable to make this document accessible because of the following
    error:
    Bad PDF; invalid loaded page. <Bad PDF; error in processing fonts: bad Type0
    font>
    Please note that some pages of this document may have been changed.
    Because of this failure, you are advised to not save these changes.
    I have tried using various different versions of Acrobat (6,7,8,9 and X) both Standard and Pro and this error comes up every time.
    The only useful information I can find online regarding this error message seems to talk about XEP-generated PDFs created without being made accessible. I have contacted the company who created this pdf and they have said that the file was created using XEP but they are adamant that it is an Adobe problem and not a problem with the document.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey,
    In testing this with Acrobat 6 I get a slightly different error and I have been able to delete all the pages apart from the title and contents so I have put this up on Acrobat.com
    https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=yQysYwrL6ea0FptfYJ5qOg
    The new error says:

  • Cfinclude file for meta tags

    If I make the website owner edit their own meta tags from a
    file using cfinclude, does that ruin the chance of search engine
    placement?
    I also wandered if spiders read the cf file, instead of the
    page output., which could be bad if it did

  • 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...

  • Online .pdf documents, meta tags; title, keywords, descriptions. search engines

    Hi. In DW 8.0.
    I searched the forums for this but was unable to find the answer.
    I would like to have meta tags in my .pdf files that are on the web.
    When someone does a search for one of them in Google or Yahoo!, it reads the title in a bizarre upper & lower case letter pattern under the search results page.
    "ExaMPLe SAMple tiTLE"
    Correct me if I am wrong, but Google creates source code for .pdfs so others can search for them, but I do not understand why the title looks the way it does.
    I was hoping by changing the title meta tag in the actual .pdf using Acrobat would solve this, but I am waiting to see if this will work.
    Does anyone know of a better way of changing/adding the meta tags to an online .pdf document?
    Thanks.

    PDF is a print document.
    HTML is a web document.
    AFAIK, meta tags are found only in web documents.
    Soluiton would be to convert your PDFs to HTML pages and use your own meta tags and titles.

  • PDF properties (meta tags) can't be changed (error 0x80040154 - class not registered)

    Hello,
    Changing PDF properties (meta tags: author, title, comment, theme etc) in  Adobe Reader as well as in Windows Explorer are disabled rsp does not funtion.
    1. In Adobe Reader "File properties", the overwriting rsp insertion of text is disabled in grey.
    2. In Windows  Explorer, following message window appears: "Properties change: Due to an unexpected error, properties can't be changed - Error  0x80040154: class not registered"
    (Sorry for the bad translation, but I am running the German version)
    Is there a technical explanation and  solution for this problem? In other PDF programms, the change of meta data does work fine.

    @MadEyes: I found out you had to set a site address in wordpress the hard way, i set it for a dns host and I couldn't get into the wp-admin page or load any sort of image or css.
    At the moment i have a server root directory with a wordpress folder on it. Eg:
        (/srv/http)/wp/
    and a  test index file in the root. Eg:
        (/srv/http)/index.html
    The index file doesn't show up publicly, but it will on the local network.
    I set the apache port back to 61669 and tested with canyouseeme.org. I got (i will email you the ip addy):
        Success: I can see your service on X.X.X.X on port (61669)       >EDIT: If I close apache, then it fails. Start it back up, it succeeds.
        Your ISP is not blocking port 61669
    I also nmap'd myself and got this:
        Host is up (0.025s latency).
        Not shown: 996 closed ports
        PORT     STATE    SERVICE
        23/tcp   open     telnet
        5989/tcp open     wbem-https
        6881/tcp filtered bittorrent-tracker
        8080/tcp open     http-proxy
    A port forward is definitely set up, so i dont know how much I can trust this (I did make 6881, but them program isn't open).
    Any of this any help?
    >EDIT: Excerpt from Webmin: "System hostname    localhost.localdomain" this doesn't seem right.
    Localhost:
    #<ip-address>   <hostname.domain.org>   <hostname>

  • Tagged PDF files from ColdFusion.

    Does anybody know about the current -- and maybe future --
    capabilities
    of ColdFusion tools that generate PDF files, such as
    <cfreport...> and
    <cfdcoument...> tags, to create 'tagged' PDF files?
    Tagged PDF files are PDF documents that have structural
    markup
    information along the lines of HTML to give accessibility
    aids, such as
    screen readers, more information on what content the PDF
    document contains.
    I have been looking high and low for information on how one
    may create
    tagged PDF's -- or add tag markup to a created PDF -- with
    ColdFusion.
    I'm getting a sinking feeling this is just beyond the
    capability of our
    beloved tool!

    This is a rather old version; you may need to run it in XP compatibility mode.
