Accessing Custom Document Properties

[cba...@teambizwiz.com]

Is there any way using the pdftron.PDF.PDFDocInfo methods to access the custom properties keyvalue pairs or am I limited to putting them as comma delimited keywords within the Keywords document properties.

Hello, 

You should be able to use docInfo.getSDFObj() to obtain the SDF/Cos low-level info object. From there you can get the value of your custom property. 

Here is some PDFNetJS full code.

var docInfoObj = yield docInfo.getSDFObj();

var customPropObj = yield docInfoObj.findObj("myCustomProperty");

// Note the next statement assumes customPropObj is a String Obj.

// Use other functions such as getBool, getNumber, getName etc. to get the value

// of other object types

var customPropString = yield docInfoObj.getAsPDFText();

PDFNet on your server can also access the custom property in a similar manner.
