Cannot get pdf custom properties values - custom metadata ex

I have a custom content model with a number of attributes. When I create pdf or Word documents that need to be specialized to this content type I create custom properties on the document and let the custom metadata extractor work at extracting the metadata info

This seems to work well with Word document. I have a rule on the space where the documents are loaded to - specialize the content type, extract content. However, in case of pdf it seems to only pull the default pdf extract properties. What is it that I am missing? How do I pull custom properties out of pdf i.e. pdfx:mycustomproperty and not pdf:mycustomproperty.

Here is a snippet of my custom-metadata-extrators-context.xml

Hi,
Look at the javadocs of the metadata extractor implementations.  The PDFBox metadata extractor doesn't extract custom properties.  It will be possible to do something like this:

                // Extract remaining custom properties
                for (String customProp : super.getMapping().keySet())
                {
                    if (rawProperties.keySet().contains(customProp))
                    {
                        // Ignore it
                        continue;
                    }
                    String customValue = docInfo.getCustomMetadataValue(customProp);
                    putRawValue(customProp, customValue, rawProperties);
                }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

after the catch code.  I am putting this into the extractor and testing it now.  Implement your own class to get the change now.

Regards
