There are 2 different ways of displaying additional file attributes for PDF documents, depending on whether the PDF document(s) are stored in a Single File field or Multiple Files field.

Single File Fields

• In order to extract Meta Data related to a PDF file stored in a Single File field you must create a Read Only - System Variables field to display the additional attributes.
• In the Variables section of the Read Only - System Variables field use the following syntax:

@Field Name. 
Label [field code] 
@

• Where Field Name is that name of the Single File field that contains the PDF document.
• You can use html to format the output:

• In the above example Contract Document is the name of the Single File field that contains the PDF document.

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.
