How do you control how PDF search results display?

Post by dfuller95 »

Hello,

We use 2017r2 to create and maintain HTML5 top navigation help systems. When help is searched and PDFs are returned in the search engine results page, the PDF summaries all exceed the Abstract Character Limit setting by quite a bit. The topics conform to this setting, but the PDFs seem to ignore it. The PDF summaries don't go on forever, they all seem to be about the same length, roughly twice the length of the Abstract Character Limit.

What controls the PDF summary length?

Also, the content of all the PDF summaries follow the same pattern, a string of text consisting of the PDF title, copyright blurb, and a portion of the TOC. Is there a way to apply a meta description to a PDF? There isn't a Description field in the Properties window for PDFs.

Thanks in advance.

David
