Hi, we use a 3rd-party program, called "pdftohtml", to extract text from .PDF files. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to extract all the document metadata, but it does extract title, date, and author. We have an updated PDF plugin that will now use the date and author metadata from the file, which you can get below. It won't get the keywords or subject metadata though. Note that the author metadata will be renamed to "Creator", and date will be renamed to "Date" metadata inside greenstone. Save this file into the <greenstone dir>perllibplugins directory: http://www.greenstone.org/tmp/PDFPlug.pm This PDF plugin also needs updated versions of the following 2 files: http://www.greenstone.org/tmp/HTMLPlug.pm (saved to perllibplugins) and http://www.greenstone.org/tmp/unicode.pm (saved to perllib).
