Yes, some of these Schema's are mandatory, so you MUST use them. > To set custom properties(like WorkOrderNo) I tried using XmpSchema, > DublinCoreSchema, PdfSchema's methods like > > XmpWriter : addRdfDescription(String, String) > XmpSchema/ PdfSchema: addProperty(String, String), setProperty(String, String) > > But these are neither being added under "Custom" properties tab of Document > properties nor are being retrieved by getMetadata() method. Er... you want to add CUSTOM data, so it kind of surprises me that you'd use something like PdfSchema. But take a look at PdfSchema. It extends the ABSTRACT class XmpSchema (abstract means: you can't use it as a class to create an object, you need to create a subclass first). You should implement the XmpSchema class like this "MyCustomSchema extends XmpSchema" and then code whatever custom info you need in your custom schema. Er... sorry for this answer. I got carried away and started teaching you how to write software. As you're a software developer you already knew this. I assume your question was rhetorical. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
