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

  • The following information can be extracted and displayed:
Meta Data Field Name Field Code
Author author
Creator creator
Producer producer
Keywords keywords
Subject subject
Title title
Number of Pages numofpages
Creation Date creationdate
Modified Date modifieddate

Single File Fields

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.
