Re: Not displaying Author. Company and Category

Attached here the latest beta before 1.5.2.

This new version also features a command line version of the parser, useful to debug parsing issues avoiding Explorer crashes.

Please test it and let me know if it works.

PS: download removed because outdated, see post below

Re: Not displaying Author. Company and Category

I'd like it to be really plug-and-play: run the setup, install new files replacing the existing ones and reboot (if needed) ;)

Re: Not displaying Author. Company and Category

Setup probably failed because the files were in use. It also displayed 1.5.1 in the Add/Remove Programs section. I was not aware of that.

For a new release you can think about adding an instruction to first remove previous versions.

Thanks for your work, please let me know when you have a final version.

Re: Not displaying Author. Company and Category

Thanks for reporting it.

I'll investigate why the setup failed, then will release 1.5.2.
Will post here when done...

Re: Not displaying Author. Company and Category

I deinstalled it now and reinstalled the newer version. Now I see the files updated and the custom fields are displayed. Great work! it's very nice.

Re: Not displaying Author. Company and Category

Could you please check the version of DLLs C:\Windows\System32\PdfPropertyExtension_x64.dll and C:\Windows\SysWOW64\PdfPropertyExtension_x86.dll ?
It should be 1.5.1.999.

If not, have you rebooted after installing it?
Maybe the setup procedure failed to replace the DLL because they were in use and also failed to ask to reboot...

You could also try to kill explorer.exe process with the task manager then start it again (File | Run.. in taskmanager window).

Finally, right click on the PDF file and open the Details tab; do the properties appear there?

Re: Not displaying Author. Company and Category

For the Company and Category I do not see a difference. That's still not displayed. The screenshot is from the documents I send in the previous reply as a test.

Re: Not displaying Author. Company and Category

Attached here you'll find a beta version with support for the required properties.
I've made it "beta" because I also updated the compiler used to build it together with some improvements to the parser.

Please let me know if it works correctly on your side.

Re: Not displaying Author. Company and Category

Attached a zip with a test file in Word (2013) that I used to create the document properties. Then I used: File > Save as > select PDF  (not using a pdf writer or acrobat plugin). I got the same result when I converted the document with Adobe Acrobat.

If I right-click the PDF file and select properties, under details it displays the Title, Authors, Subject, Comments. If I open the PDF and select Document Properties, the other tags "Company" and "Catagory" are added as custom tags. So if display of custom tags is not supported then it's ok if you can confirm that. If these custom properties should work you can check this. For me it's more a "nice to have".
