As far as I can tell Google's bots have no way to read any of the info in the 'Document Properties' section. So as well Keywords, the Title, Author and Subject don�t get 'scanned' for use in the google data base. It quite hard to prove this as for the life of me I cant find any PDF's that Google 'knows' about that has the Keyword section filled out!. I have proved with one PDF I found that Google does not look at the Title or Author though.
