Retrieve metadata and layers from documents

Post by pHol »

Hi!

I am working with cross platform projects. I have an online pdf viewer in which I can input a text field by creating an optional content layer and adding some metadata to the page/document.
When I try to open that pdf file with the instance of XChange Editor I have created the text is there but it appears to be flattened (optional content layer and metadata is gone) because I cannot access the text and modify it. Is it possible to access this kind of information from a pdf file when it is opened to be able to make the text field editable?

Hello pHol,

We will need a sample project and files to recreate the problem, only then we can advice further.

Cheers,
Alex
