Hi @ all,
Do googlebots read the Meta data. Acrobat has some Dublin Core + some Keywords
So is it possible that the bots read the Meta-Data keywords and compare to the content of the file?
Regards, heraklit

I don't know about Dublin Core tags, but I do know Google seems to prefer meta-data titles in PDFs, even when they are only there by chance. I've been embarassed enough times that I now remember to check.

I would love to know what a "Dublin Core" tag is.

The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative is an open forum engaged in the development of interoperable online metadata standards that support a broad range of purposes and business models. DCMI's activities include consensus-driven working groups, global conferences and workshops, standards liaison, and educational efforts to promote widespread acceptance of metadata standards and practices
