Single File Fields
- In order to extract Meta Data related to a PDF file stored in a you must create a Read Only - System Variables field to display the additional attributes.

Multiple File Fields
- To include the above attributes in the list view of documents stored in a Multiple File field use the Extra Columns section when you create a Multiple File field:
- In the Extra Columns field enter the desired column headings (separated by commas), followed by two colons, following by the fields codes from above (again separated by commas)
- Note: be sure there are no spaces between the field codes, just a comma.
- These attributes will only be displayed for PDF documents. They will be left blank for all non-PDF documents.
