According to this web site: [pre]http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/pdf/PDFReference15_v5.pdf[/pre] the limit for this version of PDF was 255: [pre] "Acrobat viewers display the document’s metadata in the Document Properties
dialog box and impose a limit of 255 bytes on any string representing one of those values." (page 972, item 137, Section 10.2, “Metadata” )[/pre] If ODS is letting you pass more than 255 characters, it is possible that the Acrobat viewer is doing the truncation. I could not find an ODS limit for KEYWORDS= in the doc.
