How to search PDF's using Windows Search?

[Jim G]

Can Windows Search index tags (keywords) in the Properties section of PDF documents? I want my system to index PDF document without putting a lot of keywords in the file title or using OCR. How can I get Windows Search to search and index keywords of PDF documents? I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium.

Thanks,

Jim
