Jb,
You can search custom fields in Acrobat by entering the field name=search= term in the Find Results Containing Text window. For example, if you =have a custom field called color and you wanted to search for blue, enter =color=blue.

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.
