Problem with Acrobat index and advanced search

[vvlad]

Hi,

I've added a couple of custom properties (metadata) to a set of pdf documents, then built an index for these documents. The custom properties are also defined in the index.

When I use the advanced search and the index to search for these user defined properties everything works fine for strings and numbers, but for the date type I never find anything. I've tried every possible date format without luck.

I have Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0.8 German version running on Windows XP Professional SP2.

Can somebody help?

Hi,

I've found the solution if someone is interested, it's not really obvious.


The date in the custom property has to be in the format "D:YYYYMMDD" in order to be correctly indexed and afterwards found during the
search.
