public int getCount()

Gets number of items in the collection.

Example:

Enumerates through all built-in and custom properties in a document using indexed access.

String fileName = getMyDir() + "Properties.doc";
Document doc = new Document(fileName);

System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("1. Document name: {0}", fileName));
System.out.println("2. Buil-in Properties");
for (int i = 0; i < doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getCount(); i++)
{
    DocumentProperty prop = doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().get(i);
    System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("{0}({1}) : {2}", prop.getName(), prop.getType(), prop.getValue()));
}

System.out.println("3. Custom Properties");
for (int i = 0; i < doc.getCustomDocumentProperties().getCount(); i++)
{
    DocumentProperty prop = doc.getCustomDocumentProperties().get(i);
    System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("{0}({1}) : {2}", prop.getName(), prop.getType(), prop.getValue()));
}

public DocumentProperty get(java.lang.String name)

Returns a DocumentProperty object by the name of the property.

Returns null if a property with the specified name is not found.

Parameters:

name - The case-insensitive name of the property to retrieve.

Example:

Retrieves a custom document property by name.

Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Properties.doc");

DocumentProperty prop = doc.getCustomDocumentProperties().get("Authorized Date");

if (prop != null)
{
    System.out.println(prop.toDateTime());
}
else
{
    System.out.println("The document is not authorized. Authorizing...");
    doc.getCustomDocumentProperties().add("AuthorizedDate", new Date());
}

public DocumentProperty get(int index)

Returns a DocumentProperty object by index.

Note: In Java this method is slow because iterates over all nodes.

Parameters:

index - Zero-based index of the DocumentProperty to retrieve.

Example:

Enumerates through all built-in and custom properties in a document using indexed access.

String fileName = getMyDir() + "Properties.doc";
Document doc = new Document(fileName);

System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("1. Document name: {0}", fileName));
System.out.println("2. Buil-in Properties");
for (int i = 0; i < doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getCount(); i++)
{
    DocumentProperty prop = doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().get(i);
    System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("{0}({1}) : {2}", prop.getName(), prop.getType(), prop.getValue()));
}

System.out.println("3. Custom Properties");
for (int i = 0; i < doc.getCustomDocumentProperties().getCount(); i++)
{
    DocumentProperty prop = doc.getCustomDocumentProperties().get(i);
    System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("{0}({1}) : {2}", prop.getName(), prop.getType(), prop.getValue()));
}

public DocumentProperty add(java.lang.String name, java.lang.String value)

Creates a new custom document property of the PropertyType.String data type.

Parameters:

name - The name of the property.

value - The value of the property.

Returns:

The newly created property object.

Example:

Checks if a custom property with a given name exists in a document and adds few more custom document properties.

Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Properties.doc");

CustomDocumentProperties props = doc.getCustomDocumentProperties();

if (props.get("Authorized") == null)
{
    props.add("Authorized", true);
    props.add("Authorized By", "John Smith");
    props.add("Authorized Date",new  Date());
    props.add("Authorized Revision", doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getRevisionNumber());
    props.add("Authorized Amount", 123.45);
}

public DocumentProperty add(java.lang.String name, int value)

Creates a new custom document property of the PropertyType.Number data type.

Parameters:

name - The name of the property.

value - The value of the property.

Returns:

The newly created property object.

Example:

Checks if a custom property with a given name exists in a document and adds few more custom document properties.

Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Properties.doc");

CustomDocumentProperties props = doc.getCustomDocumentProperties();

if (props.get("Authorized") == null)
{
    props.add("Authorized", true);
    props.add("Authorized By", "John Smith");
    props.add("Authorized Date",new  Date());
    props.add("Authorized Revision", doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getRevisionNumber());
    props.add("Authorized Amount", 123.45);
}

public DocumentProperty add(java.lang.String name, java.util.Date value)

Creates a new custom document property of the PropertyType.DateTime data type.

Parameters:

name - The name of the property.

value - The value of the property.

Returns:

The newly created property object.

Example:

Checks if a custom property with a given name exists in a document and adds few more custom document properties.

Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Properties.doc");

CustomDocumentProperties props = doc.getCustomDocumentProperties();

if (props.get("Authorized") == null)
{
    props.add("Authorized", true);
    props.add("Authorized By", "John Smith");
    props.add("Authorized Date",new  Date());
    props.add("Authorized Revision", doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getRevisionNumber());
    props.add("Authorized Amount", 123.45);
}

Example:

Retrieves a custom document property by name.

Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Properties.doc");

if (prop != null)
{
    System.out.println(prop.toDateTime());
}
else
{

    props.add("Authorized Date",new  Date());
    props.add("Authorized Revision", doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getRevisionNumber());
    props.add("Authorized Amount", 123.45);
}
