If you use the full version of Acrobat (formerly known as Acrobat
Exchange), you can attach information to pre-defined document
information fields: title, subject, author, keywords. I believe that if
you are using Acrobat Catalog to index your PDF files, that this
information is available to the users when they perform a multi-
document search.
I do not know if there is a way to attach other sorts of meta tags to
PDF documents.
