Author search on PDF documents

Question
In my custom search web part, I don't always get the author who created the PDF document. I do seem to get this for Microsoft doc's. Is this a known limitation of the Adobe IFilter for sharepoint?
Solution
No, author in PDF via SharePoint search results work fine.
If you have created a custom web part, then you may be looking for the wrong information or it'll be the author fields in the document not getting populated with the information.
OTHER TIPS
It turned out that I hadn't added the mapped property in Metadata properties. I needed to add owe__Author and now it works. Thanks
