OK, I admit I understood that to mean: rightclicking and selecting Properties (or getting the Property Sheets any other way)... | Unfortunately, you now encounter the difference between Windows | (right-click/properties/summary) data, and what PDF format itself | maintains internally Very true; there is confusion in this particular case. Not sure if the OP was simply using a PDF as an example, which could have been a .txt file for example. Or if he wanted to be specific. Good point.
