Hello,
I've found that some of my scanned pdfs can be found with Google and some can't. For instance, if I search for "GRAS Notice 000018:", I'll find www.accessdata.fda.gov/ scripts/fcn/gras_notices/grn000018.pdf. (I added a space in this url so it wouldn't get messed up upon posting.)

However, if I search "GRAS Notice 000274:", I don't find www.accessdata.fda.gov/ scripts/fcn/gras_notices/grn000274.pdf.

Can someone tell me know I can make my pdfs more searchable? Also, is there a way for Google to pick up a more meaningful description than the one found for "GRAS Notice 000018:"?

Thanks so much for your help,
Ellen

You'll want to fill in the Document Property Description for your PDF. Here is a tutorial that explains how to [url=http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/make-your-pdfs-work-well-google-and-other-search-engines]Make your PDFs work well with Google (and other search engines)[/url].
