Acrobat Metadata

[mimpoz]

Hi,
I'm not sure if I'm in the right place. I know noone was able to assist me at the Adobe.com forums...

I am in Acrobat and would like to reference the metadata, or the Document Properties programmatically. I am using VB or ASP...or is there any other language that I should be using.

Please help!

Thanks.

if no body at the adobe forums could help you, what makes you think it's possible?

I hear ya on companies not giving a darn about their web site's forums.

They usually expect the users of their products to maintain them without them actually puting into effort into them, personally.

I had the same problem at Seagate's site while trying to get help with Crystal Reports.

Here's www.tek-tip.com 's Adobe Acrobat Forum.

You'll prolly have a better chance there as tek-tips is a sorta "Jack of all Technologies" site with hundreds of forums. So, for oddball products like Acrobat or Crystal Reports, you can usually find stuff there.

Of course, if you need help with the ASP side of your web page, www.htmlforums.com is still the standard. :P (As long as you avoid that Scoutt fella)

oh god you had to say it huh?

Crystal Reports should be wadded up and thrown into a big bon fire. that is the worse program in the world, besides tiburon :)

I totally feel for you there Putts my man. :P

Actually, Crystal ain't all that bad, but the learning curve is not exactly the easiest and it's hard to get help for it.

In most cases where you find Crystal, it will probably be in a larger sized company where the company can afford to send their programmers to training, in which case my point becomes moot.

However, in my case, my company decided not to send me to any sort of training so I was forced to do it the hard way.

Once you figure it out tho, it's not too bad. I mean, M$ may be the devil, but do you think they'd waste money packaging .NET with a completely worthless app? I mean this is the most wickedly intelligent company ever; they would never do something too risky like that.

Anyways, what was this thread about?:confused:

I'm so glad I provided some entertainment!
We were discussing Acrobat...I would like to access the Documents Properties>Keywords...remember??

Did you find anything at www.tek-tips.com ?

Or did that link get lost someplace in the goobildy gook of the last few posts? If so, look up a few posts, and I made a link for their Adobe Forum.

Anyways, I dont think any of us would be much of a proficianado in this area.

The link was quite helpful...I think i'm going to try another avenue.

Thanks.
