hi, I use a custom javascript pop-up box to enter metadata onto the PDF. After entering the metadata and selecting "OK" the metadata are applied to the cusom metadata fields.
There is some custom scripting that copies the data entered in this javascript form into the metadata fields of the PDF.

Question: can a LiveCycle form be created that can be used to attach metadata as i described above? LiveCyle forms are better than the limited javascript dialog boxes i now use.

any help would be great

Look at "xfa.form1.desc" for the metadata.
