DocumentContentInfo Object (IDocumentContentInfo Interface)

This object contains information about the author, keywords, subject, creation and modification dates, and title of the document and stores the document information dictionary. You can access content information of the certain document using the DocumentContentInfo property of the corresponding FRDocument object.

If you want the values of the properties to be written into the output file, set the corresponding properties of the needed format export parameters to TRUE (see the description of the DocumentContentInfoWritingParams object).

Notes:

  • During export to PDF/A files document content information is always duplicated to XMP data. XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform) is a technology which allows embedding metadata directly into a file. It simplifies content information extraction for third-party applications. The metadata tags written to XMP are those from the Dublin Core set. This is done to comply with the PDF/A standard.
  • During export to PDF files document content information is normally written only to the properties of a file and not duplicated to XMP data. To include document content information to XMP for PDF files, set the WriteXmpMetadata property of the corresponding PDFExportFeatures object to TSPV_Yes. The metadata will be recorded in the same way as for PDF/A files.
