Subject metadata length

Hi,

I noticed that Acrobat cuts the text in Subject metadata field. Is there any length restriction? Yet a while ago I didn't observe this issue.

I prepare my PDFs in InDesign where I include all metadata and there (it is Description field there) I see the full text. After exporting to Acrobat, however, the text in that metadata field (it is Subject field in Acrobat), is cut.

It seems to be limited to 1999 characters, but that's just a limitation of the GUI. You can apply a string of any length you want using a script and read it correctly later on, but it won't appear in full in the Properties window.
