In File/Doc Properties/Description/Additional Metadata/Advanced, there's
a list of Dublin Core properties.  It looks like you can create an RDF
file that encloses other DC properties and import it.  Adobe calls this
their "Extensible Metadata Platform" and has some information at
<http://www.adobe.com/products/xmp/main.html>.  You may also find help
at <http://www.adobe.com/products/xmp/pdfs/xmpspec.pdf> and
<http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/09/22/xmp.html>.
