search xmp data

No, this level of granularity is not availible. However you can write your own custom search for the XMP metadata and the Doc Info.

i understand....
so there isn't a way to implement your custom serach tutorial, i'd like to implemt it in way to retrieve only custom properties i'm finding.
is it possible?

The JavaScript [b]Search[/b] object does not have settings for searching only specific metadata fields. You can see this in the documentation.

However, you can use JavaScript to implement your own search mechanism that only examines specific metadata fields. This is a different technique than the one oulined in the article.

can you suggest me how i coul refer to search object to retrieve customize properties?
for example i implemented these properties in my script:

Doc.info.DataFattura
oDoc.info.importo
oDoc.info.NumeroDocumento
oDoc.info.RagioneSociale
oDoc.info.tipo_documento

how can i retrieve only pcustom property i serch for?

Again, you cannot use the Search object for this task.

You'll need to write your own function to do the search. How this fucntion is written depends on where and how it will be used. For example, will it be looking at the current PDF? or all the PDFs open in Acrobat? Will it be looking at all the PDFs in a particular folder? Will it be used in conjunction with another feature?

ok tom, according to my needs i'd like to retrieve documents contained into a folder.
my unique problem is to address search criteria to custom prperties regardless of they are located.
according to their position i'll develop corresponding script.
but before this i've the need to know how to refer them.
Regards.

You already know how to refer to them. You showed me in your previous post

oDoc.info.DataFattura
oDoc.info.importo
oDoc.info.NumeroDocumento
oDoc.info.RagioneSociale
oDoc.info.tipo_documento

This is how the properties are accessed in an open document. This is not the hard part. The hard part is figuring out how you are going to search files in a folder, as opposed to files open in Acrobat. JavaScript does not have direct access to the file system.

But the batch processing engine does. So you can perform this operation in two steps. First, write a batch script that will search the current PDF for the properties you are interested in and if found save the file path to some global area. Then when the batch process is finished you'll need a script to retrieve and display the saved file paths.
