Hi Mike

thx for the response.
two extra questions:
1. why does the file properties of a pdf disappear after a upload/download
in the file itself?

2. how can i tune the search result web part in order to make it show
sharepoint-custom-properties?

There is such a link between most Office document properties and
SharePoint fields.

Hi,

sp2007 question:

when we upload office documents, the file properties (title, comments,
author, ...) are taken along with the document.
these properties are shown in search results (example the description in
fixed query web parts)

Test procedure
1. locate a local pdf document
2. edit metadata (right click the file, properties, summary tab : fill in
some values).
3. upload the pdf to a document library
4. download the uploaded document
5. check the properties : everything is empty
???

now do the same thing with an ms-office document, metadata will stay
untouched.

my problem : the description (in the resulting xml of a search) property is
allways empty for pdf documents

Anyone the same problem or a solution?
