CS4 | Portfolio | Entering desciptions | no support for metadata?

Best regards

I use Lightroom 2.x. I have done a lot of work entering descriptions, captions, titles and metadata like this in the library.

I want to make some ACROBAT PORTFOLIO documents. In portfolio you can add descriptions under the images, which is a nice feature. HOWEVER I would hope that you could use SELECTED metadata fields to bring this information from the image into portfolio. It is crazy to have to re-enter this information.

Is there a way, and why not if not, to see the enter comments fields in the portfolio creation/edit windows to USE the METADATA fields you entered in Lightroom?

I am curious why there is not more import and support for metadata between adobe products...in particular there should be numerous painless ways to bring lightroom collections into portfolio without having to do everything all over again.

Maybe there are scripts but I never use them. Anyone have any ideas on this? PORTFOILIO looks promising but is also rigid in ways, such as this problem.
