First, I would like to say that I found Extract ISBN plugin very useful.
I would really appreciate it, though, if an extra feature could be added in extracting ISBN from PDF files.

Currently, according to the first post of this thread, the plugin scans only the first 10 pages of the PDF file, then if ISBN not found, the last 5 pages in reverse order.

Could you please scan the "keywords" metadata field of the PDF file as well? Many books put their ISBN in the keywords field. Scanning the content in this field should be much smaller than scanning even one page of the PDF file and should be more authoritative.

Thanks for developing this great plugin!
