I think Magnus is looking for a tool that reads the pdf and extracts subjects, title, author metadata from it. We do not have something like that at this time. However, someone could write either a mediafilter, curation task or consumer that would parse the documents and pull out possible metadata fields, though this would be heuristically complex if it is not in PDF or DOC metadata/bibliographies/etc. I believe there are some third party tools out there that do make an attempt to extract such data, but a review is necessary and we could engineer something that supports this capability for DSpace.
