Displaying custom properties of a PDF DocumentItem

I'm using the PropertyAccessor.SetProperty method to set some custom

properties on DocumentItem objects in a MAPIFolder. I'm then displaying

these custom properties as columns in the folder view.

Where the DocumentItem is any MS Office document (Word, Excel, etc), then

the values of the custom properties display correctly in the columns of the

view. However, if the DocumentItem is an Acrobat PDF document, then the

property values are not being displayed at all in the view. Does anyone know

how to resolve this?

I'm using VSTO 2008 with Outlook 2007.

Thanks,

Wayne.
 
What are the relevant snippet of your code?

What do you see on the MAPI level for teh good and bad document items (you

can look at theraw message properties using OutlookSpy - select the item in

Outlook, click IMessage button on the OutlookSpy toolbar).

Here is the code I use to set the properties...

setProperty(objDocItem, "User", strUser)

setProperty(objDocItem, "Description", strDocumentName)

Here is the "setProperty" function being called above...

Sub setProperty(ByRef objDocumentItem As Outlook.DocumentItem, ByVal

strPropertyName As String, ByVal strPropertyValue As String)

Try

objDocumentItem.PropertyAccessor.SetProperty(SCHEMA_NAME &

strPropertyName, strPropertyValue)

Catch ex As Exception

LogError("setProperty(Outlook.DocumentItem, '" & strPropertyName

& "', '" & strPropertyValue & "') - Exception : " & ex.Message)

End Try

End Sub

And here is the View XML snippet for the two columns...

<column
<heading>User</heading
<prop>http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/string/{FFF40745-D92F-4C11-9E14-92701F001EB3}/User</prop
<type>string</type
<width>61</width
<style>padding-left:3px;;text-align:left</style
<editable>1</editable
</column
<column
<type>string</type
<heading>Description</heading
<prop>http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/string/{FFF40745-D92F-4C11-9E14-92701F001EB3}/Description</prop
<width>200</width
<style>padding-left:3px;;text-align:left</style
<editable>1</editable
</column
No error is logged by the "setProperty" function. I can see the properties

have been set correctly when I use the IMessage feature of OutlookSpy, but

the values are not displaying in the columns of the view if the document is a

PDF.

Thanks,

Wayne.

When you select the property in the IMessage window in OutlookSpy, do you

see the right GUID matching that used in the view descriptor?
