Tags for pdf files not showing

[Mati]

Hi, I am impressed with the 1.5 version (using now 1.5.0.1408). Started using it but quite novice.
Here is an issue I encounter:
I tagged the "tags" and "Description" tags, manually using Directory opus.
I add columns "tags" and "comment" in everything.
The Issue:
Only a few pdf's that have a tag "maintenance" from DIrectory Opus show that "maintenance" tag in Everything.
(the actual tag I use is in Hebrew but this dont seem to make a difference).
It seem that the "comment" tag text seem to show in Everything OK.
I notices that the problem is with those PDF s that were created from e_mails using the option to create a pdf from outlook.

1. Could that be a wrong structure of the PDF ?
2. Where does Everything store metadata such as TAGS and COMMENT in pdfs ?

[void]

Everything reads tags and descriptions from the Windows Property System.

Please try enabling Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> opus_meta_information

Press F5 to refresh tags and descriptions.

If you are indexing tags and descriptions, select your PDF files and press Ctrl + F5 to refresh indexed information.

Thank you for your quick reply.

1. opus_meta_information was already enabled
2. F5 and CTRL F5 did not show the tags.

I might be doing something wrong.

To demonstrate the issue I am attaching a pdf file, converted from your e_mail.
By the name:
" N:\Documents\From Mail\2026-04-07_02-59-34 new - forum@voidtools.com TO Mati SUBJ Reply in Tags for pdf files not showing ATT.pdf"

In that file I added manually, using directory opus
1. a tag called "everythingtag"
2. a comment called "everything_comment"
3. a title called "everything_title
4. a subjectr callled "everything_subject"
Everything shows only the comment "everything_comment" but not the other 3.

Will this help solving the issue ?

The everything_comment is likely stored in an alternate data stream (not in the file itself)

The everythingtag, everything_title and everything_subject are stored in the file in a xmpmeta tag.

Everything doesn't have native support for XMP metadata.
Does Windows Explorer show the tag, title and subject for this pdf file?

If not, please try a third party property handler like PDF-Xchange Editor with F_ShellExt.
Everything will use the same property values as Windows Explorer.
