Some thoughts about what you wrote:

It's not possible to install PDFPropertyExtension without admin rights; if you don't give them the setup don't (or shouldn't) go on.

Beware that Windows Explorer has some kind of caching of file properties, used to avoid hammering filters with the same files over and over.
Usually this cache rebuilds when it detects file changes (size, last changed date, ...) but sometimes it doesn't.
Closing and restarting Explorer process (in Windows 10 you can right click on Explorer in task manager and select restart) should fix it.

Check this Registry keys values:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PropertySystem\PropertyHandlers\.pdf --> {AEE2E439-D294-41D8-BE62-34D154070307} HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Approved\{AEE2E439-D294-41D8-BE62-34D154070307} --> "PDF Property Extension"
{AEE2E439-D294-41D8-BE62-34D154070307} is the GUI of PDFPropertyExtension.
If they are different or missing please reinstall it.

Thanks for the swift reply - I've checked my registry and neither of those keys exist, so yes I guess it hasn't installed. I've put a ticket into our IT guys asking for an install, let's hope they don't go tougher than Norton on me!
Cheers
Jim
