•Capture custom metadata for Adobe PDF files. Extracts metadata field names and values that were assigned to the original Adobe Acrobat PDF. Such fields might include the names of e-mail attachments, or of PDF's embedded in other files such as in a Micrsoft Word document.

•Capture custom metadata for MS Office files. Extracts metadata field names and values that were assigned to Microsoft Office file, except for Publisher and Access files.  Field names and data are brought into the LAW case as extended properties. See note below.

•Capture EXIF metadata for image files (TIFF/JPEG). Extracts metadata field names and values from EXIF files. If found, custom metadata fields are added to the case database with field names preceded by EP.

•Detect comments for MS Word/Excel/PowerPoint and PDF files. If comments in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files or sticky notes in Adobe Acrobat PDF files are detected, assigns a Y to the HasComments field.

•Detect tracked changes for MS Word and Excel files. If tracked changes are found, assigns a Y to the HasTrackChanges system field.

•Detect hidden rows and/or columns for MS Excel files. If hidden columns or rows are found, assigns a Y to HasHiddenRow and HasHiddenColumn, respectively.

•Detect hidden sheets for MS Excel files. If hidden sheets are found, assigns a Y to the HasHiddenSheet field.

•Detect hidden slides for MS PowerPoint files. If hidden slides are found, assigns a Y to the HiddenSlides field.

•Detect speaker notes for MS PowerPoint files. If speaker notes are found, assigns a Y to the SpeakerNotes field.

 

Note

Extended property metadata is placed in extended property fields that are created when the documents are imported or the metadata is extracted by the Batch Processing utility. The names of all extended property fields start with EP. The remainder of the field name depends on the name of the field as it exists in the source document. For example, if a Word document is imported that contains a custom metadata field called Typist, LAW will create a metadata field during the import or batch processing called EPTypist. Deleting a document will delete all corresponding extended properties for that document. For more information on extended properties, see: Extended Properties in Grid Views.
