Metadata in PDF searches

I'm using iFilter v6 to do SQL text searches on pdfs. Filenames, paths, URL's come up fine. But no metadata shows up for DocAuthor, DocSubject, DocTitle, etc. I know that the filter is grabbing the data (it shows up when I run filtdump.exe). What am I missing?
Thanks!

Something to do with your coding. The page we opens is HTML not a PDF file. When we click on the links, it opens the PDF. I can see that destination tag along with the URL and the PDF is properly bookmarked. So check ur code.

how to implement pdf search and pdf text search in office 365

The need for OCR is dependent on the type of PDF file being indexed. Some PDFs are images of text and require OCR to be indexed (which is not available in O365). But most PDFs today are text based and fully index-able. OCR isn't a default
for the iFilter on-premises either it is a custom install. The default iFilter used on-premises is the same one used in Office 365 and will index more than metadata if the PDF contains index-able text.

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create custom SharePoint 2010 Search Refiners for some drop-down columns in library.
For achieving your demand, you can refer to the blog:

Use of XMP Custom Panel to automate insertion of metadata into PDF file.

I'm new to the world of XMP so please bear with me.
I'm exploring ways of automating the insertion of metadata into PDF files, either at the time of creation, or through a batch process. The metadata values for a given set of documents would be static, so these could be "hard coded" into the mechanism use to insert the metadata.
Would an XMP Custom Panel be something I could use to achieve this goal. If so, can you please provide some details on how to go about doing this.
Thanks in advance.
Louis

Were you able to find a solution to this problem? I am having the same issue.

Adding Metadata to PDF Form

Hi, I'm trying to add some metadata to a pdf. I have the follow script in the form initialize event:
if (form1.desc.nodes.namedItem("metadata") == null) then
var oNode=xfa.form.createNode("text", "metadata")
form1.desc.nodes.append(oNode)
endif
I receive the error message:
Argument mismatch in property or function argument
I also tried this code:
if (form1.desc.nodes.namedItem("metadata") == null) then
var oNode=xfa.form.createNode("text", "metadata")
oNode.value = "Test Data"
form1.desc.nodes.append(oNode)
endif
Which gave me this error:
accessor "oNode.value" is unknown
It appears that the oNode object is not being created.
Any suggesting how I can add Metadata to the PDF?

Hi,
This is the code I use to place metadata into the pdf file. If you open
the resulting pdf file using Notepad, the metadata is visible as readable
text in the file. I'm not sure the same approach can be used to add
metadata as viewed under Document Properties. We are not using it that
way. Maybe by changing the node name?
if ((EMAIL_SUBJECT1.rawValue != "")&&(EMAIL_SUBJECT1.rawValue != null))
        var vDesc=xfa.template.data.desc;
        var oNode1=xfa.template.createNode("text", "EMAIL_SUBJECT1");
        vDesc.nodes.append(oNode1);
vDesc.nodes.namedItem("EMAIL_SUBJECT1").value=EMAIL_SUBJECT1.rawValue;

Bruce / Zwicki - or anyone who can assit...
How did you get this to work? I
I'm looking for a way to add/inject values (keywords) into the form's
meta-data by retrieving the info/values from user input.
To test the above solution, I added the following script to the initialize
event as referenced, but I'm not sure what is happening:
if (form1.desc.nodes.namedItem("metadata") == null)
var oNode=xfa.form.createNode("text", "metadata")
form1.desc.nodes.append(oNode)
1. Do I need a field on the page?
2. What part of the above script affects the meta-data?
Thanks!

PDF search for term with space yields term with hyphen

Hi,
I've encountered what seems to be an unpleasant problem in PDF searches, and am wondering whether it's known or has a solution.
In words, the problem is that when I perform a PDF search for a term with a space I get results for the term with a hyphen substituted for the space.
Example: If I open this PDF (technical document from Freescale Semiconductor), and search for the term
D cache
I expect to find occurrences of the term "D cache", space and all. The term is in fact not in the PDF -- but the PDF search reports several instances found. Trouble is, the term it finds is
D-cache
This is unexpected, because a space is not the same as a hyphen. And this causes me problems, because I can't search for the space-separated term without hitting "false positives".
I've tried this on Acrobat 9 Professional, Reader 9, and Acrobat 10 Professional, on Windows XP and Windows 7, using both quick search and advanced search with all possible permutations of options. The result is nonetheless the same.
If you know of a solution to this problem, I would appreciate it if you shared it. Thank you!

How to import XMP metadata in pdf

Could you please explain me, how to import XMP metadata in pdf file through "Live Cycle ES"?

Yes, with LiveCycle ES (almost) all services can be invoked from any of the available endpoints (watch folder, EJB, WebService, etc).
In this case since the ImportXMP requires two input files (the PDF and the XMP) you will need to drop a directory containing both of your files into the watch folder (not the individual files). This is because several requests can be dropped into the watch folder at the same time and without the sub directories LiveCycle couldn't tell what XMP when with what PDF.
A com.adobe.idp.Document - AKA: Document - object is one of the common object types used across all LiveCycle products. When you deal with PDFs and many other binary file objects they are stored a Document object. It is more important that you know this when using Workbench, web services or the Java API.
You should have a look at the documentation at: http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/programLC/programmer/help/001553.html

Headings follow relevant chapter names? Index link to pdf search engine?

I´m new to Pages 09 and haven´t found how to have the page heading contain only the relevant chapter name. I´ve got 8 chapters and want the relevant name at the top of each page, as one usually finds. How is it done?
Can one automatically link the alphabetical word index to the internal pdf search engine when exported as pdf file or does one have to do this by hand?
Thanks for any help in these matters
Neil

Cut your document in sections.
Insert your chapters in different sections.
Doing that you will be able to use the chapter name in the corresponding header.
In page 58 of the User Guide (English version) we may read:
*Changing Headers and Footers in a Section*
You can change headers and footers to be unique to a section. You can also change headers and footers within a section.
To change headers and footers:
1 Place the insertion point in the section.
2 Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Layout button, and then click Section.
3 Deselect “Use previous headers and footers.”
4 Type the new header or footer in the header or footer area of your document.

Shlomo, thank you for posting about your seminars, as always you continue to provide an invaluable source of information about the inner workings of FM and best practices for creating PDFs.
For those who might not be familiar with Microtype's seminars, they're always a great opportunity to learn -- or "re-learn" -- real-world, practical, and useful features of FM and PDF, presented in a logical and time-sensitive manner. I dare you not to say "I didn't know FM/PDF could do that!" at least once. :-)

Extract metadata from PDF

Hi all
Maybe the wrong category to post this question but I am wondering if it is possible to extract the metadata from PDF document as well as we do from images?
Since both metadata are based on XMP from Adobe it should theoretically be possible. Anybody knows how?
Thank you.
Nitai

XMP extraction from PDF format files is not implemented by interMedia.
You can learn more about XMP at the Adobe web site. It is possible to create a simple XMP extractor by implementing a byte scanner that looks for the XMP indicator string. However, I believe that the PDF format allows for some object blocks to be marked old or superseded by newer blocks. Thus it may be possible to have more than one XMP block in a PDF file. You would need to know more about PDF format to determine which is the current block.

PDF Search Feature Question

I'm trying to set up a type of PDF search that will allow me to scan an entire document for a list of pre-determined keywords and phrases (approximately 50 - 100) and then give me a report on the results. I'm familair with the pdf search that is included in the Acrobat software but I'm not sure if it has the capabilities I'm looking for? Does Acrobat have another feature I could use or do you know another software that can accomplish this?
Thanks

May be possible with Acrobat Javascript.

Preserving metadate in PDF Presentation

I have Photoshop CS3 with Bridge. I digitally photograph documents in RAW. In Bridge, I embed metadata. I open all images in Photoshop and create .jpegs. Both the RAW image and the jpeg retain the metadata. However, if I use PDF Presentation to create a single document, the metadata no long shows when I highlight the completed document. I know the data is recorded somewhere, because the title, author and copyright info correctly appears in the finished document.
How do I get the metadata saved in the PDF Presentation document to be revealed when I highlight (click on) the document?

Not to pass the buck, but out of my expertise. Did a google search for PDF metadata and there are several hits on how to do it. Here is one.

Tool to view CIP4 metadata in PDF

Dear All,
Is there any tool available that can show the CIP4 metadata written to a PDF document.
Using the PDFVT InDesign sample plug-in I had written the metadata to a PDF file. I had followed the instructions given in the InDesign CHM help file to create the PDF with CIP4 metadata.
I had opened the PDF in Acrobat Professional 9, but did not find the metadata.
Is there any tool to view the metadata?

I did a Google search and found this thread from about a year ago:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/836604#3606384
It looks like there is no support within InDesign (and probably Acrobat) beyond supporting PDF/VT files. Presumably you got the plug-in you're referring to from some third party company. You would need to contact them about metadata they might have added to the PDF file.

Can I use applescript to export PDF search results from "preview"?

My question is about "Preview". I have a very large PDF document that I am using preview to view. After doing a search for a specific word, preview has returned 1200 results. The results panel shows the page number the result is found on and the line of text on which the searched-for-word is found.
My question is this: Is there a way to export this information from preview to something like an excel file? The end result would look like a table with two columns. One with the page numbers and one with the line of text in which the word appears.
Is this something that can be done with applescript? I don't know if the system even stores that kind of information... /sigh. Any help is appreciated.

Using Preview.app, I have done a search for the word “AppleScript” in the PDF version of the AppleScript Language Guide. Then, I have used the following script to retrieve the information displayed in the results panel.
tell application "Preview" to activate
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Preview"
return value of text field 1 of rows of outline 1 of scroll area 2 of splitter group 1 of window 1
end tell
