Embedding metadata in a PDF file:
I was curious about this so I made a duplicate of a PDF file which I'd
downloaded.
Opened the duplicate file with Preview.
Used Tools>Inspector to add a nonsense keyword, and saved file.
Searched for the keyword and found it immediately.
Problem: File size of original document: 2.2 MB. File size of modified
document: 9.2 MB.
Why the huge increase in file size?
I opened the original file with Adobe Reader and found a list of the
keywords under File>Properties...>Description, but I was unable to add
a keyword.
I made a small file with TextEdit, and made a PDF file version of it
with Print...>PDF>Save as PDF..., and added keywords to it with the
PDF generation. File size changed from 4KB to 8KB, which is more
reasonable.
