MS Office document properties / FileSearch / pdf / dwg
(OP)
I extensively use MSOffice document properties for indexing projects documents (xls,doc,ppt)). ('custom'document properties are encoded with a home-developed screen in word/excel or ppt)
I would like to extend this procedure to .pdf and .dwg files.
Any suggestion on how to proceed?

RE: MS Office document properties / FileSearch / pdf / dwg
AFA ACAD -- if you want to do "homebrew," how about saving as DXF? Or adding a layer with your indexing info and leaving it "off?"
Or, ignoring AutoDesk's pathetic attempt to co-opt open source with "DesignXML," there are .dwg to .svg utilities.
Or you could write a little routine to output your indexing information in your own dialect of XML, which would be readable by a lot of things (e.g., Excel, VB, C#, browsers, NotePad, people.)
No substance, just some random neural firings to get a discussion going.
