Hi! I was wondering if anyone may know how to search solely through metadata stored in a PDF. I want to search only through the metadata and not the text of the files as there are thousands of files I am searching for and the search too long.

 

I would really appreciate some help. Thank you!

A script can be used in an Action to do that. Do you want to search a specific metadata property, or the entire thing?

Thank you so much for your reply! Preferably the entire set of metadata, but if it was one specific metadata property that would be ok too.

What version of Acrobat do you have? What should be the output of this process?
