Hello,
so I've finally found the time to test ghostscript with PDF Indexer... and there is no problem at all.
I've played also with CMOD 8.5 (FP1), and with the new PDF Indexer parameter INDEXMODE.
So with this parameter you can tell PDF Indexer to look into the Document Information Dictionary of the PDF, which contains the 9 following fields:
- Title
- Author
- Subject
- Keywords
- Creator
- Producer
- CreationDate
- ModDate
- Trapped
And if you add more index in this Document Information Dictionary (you can do it easily with ghostscript), then PDF Indexer just ignores them... (well to be honnest, the PDF Reference guide doesn't encourage to add new index in that Document Information Dictionary, but prefers that they are added in the Document Catalog)
So at the moment, I can see only the following possibility to use that new METADATA Indexing of PDF Indexer, and that means using these fields in an artistic way! Like -> Author = Document Type, Subject = Customer Number, ... etc...
But that's not really ideal for my taste...
So I think it would be better that IBM enhanced this mode in order to have personalized metadata index inside a PDF, somewhere in the Document Catalog, as Adobe suggested.
At the moment this is not possible, but it should/must available in the next CMOD release (or at least in the future of CMOD)
Cheers,
Alessandro
