PdfProcessing: Import and export of custom document info properties

Currently RadFixedDocumentInfo is used only for export of Author, Title and Description document metadata properties. This should be extended to support custom properties. We should also implement the import of RadFixedDocumentInfo.

Hello Doug,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I agree that the Keywords option is an omission from our side and we will try to add it in one of our next releases. We have an open request for this functionality: PdfProcessing: Provide support of "Keywords" entry in the document information dictionary (RadFixedDocumentInfo). Please, make sure to subscribe to this request so we can notify you when its status changes.

Don't hesitate to let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.

Regards,
Tanya

I find it rather inexplicable that Telerik would implement options to set metadata for Author, Title and Description but not Keywords. Why not add that at the same time you're adding the other three? But in the end this is a deal breaker for us as we need to be able to set Keywords.

Hello, Thomaz,

My name is Svilen and I will be happy to address the issue.

I completely understand the importance of supporting document properties and agree with the expectation that the library should include this functionality. Our team strives to provide as much functionality as possible in order to secure the best user experience, which includes fixing bugs and implementing features that affect the most clients. This is why we rely on our public Feedback Portal where our community can provide feedback for the ones we need to prioritize.

I expect this feature, being an important one, to receive more attention from other clients as well, which will increase the public item's priority. When this happens, our team will commence implementing it, and once complete, we will make sure to notify you and everyone else, who has subscribed to the public item of the news. In the meantime, I would not wish to mislead you by sharing a specific ETA here. Please accept the team's apologies for the inconvenience caused.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to us should you need any further help.

Regards,
Svilen

Stumbled over that too. Would have expected that to be part of any PDF Library. For existing ang new documents. Custom document properties are since almost ever part of a Pdf document. Very surprised, needs to be part of a professional too. Thanks for implementing that right away.
