Description: Imagine an application that opens a LibreOffice template, fills it in with user data and to creates a PDF directly, without saving the ODT file. The template contains its own name and release date in the Custom Properties. I'd like to see these Custom Properties also in the exported PDF file. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add some custom properties to a file. 2. Export to PDF 3. Check the PDF's custom properties: they are empty... Actual Results: No custom properties are exported. Expected Results: Export all custom properties to the PDF, maybe depending on an options setting.

D. Bugger, thank you for reporting the bug. Where do you see custom properties of a PDF or why do you think, that custom properties in a PDF-Viewer have the same meaning than in LO? => NEEDINFO
Created attachment 191536 [details] Document Properties window Hallo Dieter, thanks for replying. The attachment contains the Document Properties window for a PDF file produced using either OpenOffice or LibreOffice. So, somehow, Custom Properties in a PDF file seem to be possible. Why should they not have the same meaning as in LO??

(In reply to QA Administrators from comment #3) > [Automated Action] NeedInfo-To-Unconfirmed Any action required from my side? What's "obsolete"? My question still stands. Regards.
I confirm it with Version: 24.2.2.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: d56cc158d8a96260b836f100ef4b4ef25d6f1a01 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL threaded Steps: 1. Add custom properties to a writer document (file -> Properties -> Custom Properties) 2. Export as PDF 3. Open properties tab in PDF viewer (I've used Adobe Acrobat Reader) Actual result: No entries Expected result: Entries from writer
Also in Version: 24.8.0.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 0bdf1299c94fe897b119f97f3c613e9dca6be583 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.8; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: ro-RO (ro_RO.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
This is also missing in V25.8.2, and it is needed not just for Writer, but also for all other modules/doc formats with PDF Export. What is the reason behind that? Some Document Management Systems are reading such meta data properties for indexing or doing something else, so it would be of a great help if custom properties set in LibO could be exported in the produced PDF and processed from the DMS as well. It would spare a manual adding step for the PDFs.
