metadata delimiter
Hello, This is to report an ID behavior that constitutes a bug (to my thinking). This behavior has existed in every version of ID that I'm familiar with from the beginning through CC 2021. Documentation states that you can use any delimiter character you prefer in File Info. But it doesn't tell you that it will change your delimiters to semicolons as soon as you hit OK on the File Info dialog. This has been a thorn in my side for many years. I produce periodical scientific journals using InDesign as my layout tool. And ID is awesome for that. But every time I export a PDF, I'm then forced to manually change all those semicolons back to commas (that's what our website demands for full searching/indexing capability). Until our webmaster makes a change that will allow semicolons, I have to endure that frustration on every author list and keyword list in every PDF that we publish. There are very few, if any, options for batch search/replacing text in metadata of a collection of PDFs. I hope the ID development staff will find it in their hearts to change ID's preference for semicolons - or at least provide some alternative solution for exported PDFs.
Thanks,
Stay well,
C Yarwood
