Topic: Customizing Acrobat Catalog

I am in the ePaper business and a major tool we use is Acrobat to deliver our PDF's with. Myself and three other developers here can find many ways to customize the PDF itsleft like adding custome META fileds such as LGINumber or what have you. BUT the search function in acrobat was out-sourced by adobe and there are no build in fuctions to it. You can customize cataloge fields but the search within acrobat will not recognize them. I have been sucessfull in creating scripts that will search and locate the meta data in the PDF but no avail when it comes to searching a catalog with the meta data. The company they outsourced it to is called Verites or something....I could look it up but I am a developer....anyway on their page you can "purchase" a sdk for like a 1000$ that will search all your data and you can add all the custome fields you want. But untill then I just grep what I need out of the acrobat catalog...that seems to work just fine.
