Re: [libextractor] PDF Tags set by Adobe Bridge

[Christian Grothoff]

Dear Joerg,

Given your description, I cannot tell if it is that you did not compile some 
of the LE plugins (i.e. due to missing dependencies at configure time) or if 
our plugins are insufficient to get the meta data you're interested in.

Please check that the PDF and EXIV2 plugins are compiled in the first place on 
your system (locate them in $PREFIX/lib/libextractor/).  If they are, it would 
be useful if you could make a file with the respective meta data entries 
available.

Finally, for Exiv support, libextractor uses libexif2, so you might want to 
check with version of that library you're using -- and possibly with the 
author of libexiv2 to see if he can/will/plans to support your format.

Happy hacking,

Christian
