This is exactly what I was trying to describe in my posting. These entries do
not show up in the Index Server searches for PDF files. When you have the
full version of Acrobat installed, another option that is viewable besides
Summary in the Properties tab is PDF Properties. These values are read only
at this point. The entry for these values is made within Acrobat Distiller.
The keywords entered within Acrobat Distiller are searchable by Index Server.
This means that a PDF has two different areas in which Keywords are entered.

We have also found that a Windows Search on text within a file reveals the
keywords entered in the file Properties, Summary section, yet Index Server
will not.
