When saving a document from DOCX to PDF I loose any customer properties in the original DOCX file.


How do I retain custom properties when converting from DOCX to PDF?

Best regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please use
PdfSaveOptions.CustomPropertiesExport to get or set a value determining
the way CustomDocumentProperties are exported to PDF file. Default value
is None. PdfCustomPropertiesExport Enumeration specifies the way CustomDocumentProperties are exported to PDF file.

Standard : Custom properties are exported as entries in /Info dictionary.
Custom
properties with the following names are not exported: “Title”,
“Author”, “Subject”, “Keywords”, “Creator”, “Producer”, “CreationDate”,
“ModDate”, “Trapped”.

Metadata : Custom properties are Metadata.
The
namespace of exported properties in XMP packet is “custprops”. Every
property has an associated xml-element “custprops:Property1”,
“custprops:Property2” and so on. There is “rdf:Description” element
inside property element. The description element has two elements
“custprops:Name”, containing custom property’s name as a value of this
xml-element, and “custprops:Value”, containing custom property’s value
as value of this xml-element.

None: No custom properties are exported.

Hope this answers your query. Please let us know if you have any more queries.
