Hello,
I am currently putting together a new document management system at my company (using http://www.alfresco.com )
and part of the functionality will involve automatic metadata extraction from stored PDFs, and google-like full-text search of PDFs.
We seem to be running into a few problems though -
All our PDFs were password protected in Acrobat to have a "read only" security permission - yet this seems to be blocking the metadata extractor.
I wasn't expecting this - obviously, Adobe Reader can still read the metadata, I'm wondering does it do anything special that other clients aren't allowed to?
Also, I'm wondering if the "object level compression" and "compress text and line art" Distiller settings could interfere with PDF content/metadata readability?
