    zipping pdfs seems to strip "properties" info

    eddieduggan Community Member

      Here's a funny thing:

       

      After right-clicking on a PDF created with Acrobat 9.1.1 Pro, I can enter additional data via the summary tab of the "properties" option on the context menu.

       

      When I mouse over the file in Windows Explorer, the additional data appears as "tool tip".

       

      If I then add the PDF to a zip archive (using a trial copy of WinRAR 3.62) and then extract the file from the archive, the additional data is stripped.

       

      Has anyone else noticed this problem?

       

      Is the problem in Acrobat 9, WinRar, or  Windows XP (SP2), or in an unusual planetary alignment caused by using all three?

       

       

      NB: In an attempt to answer my own question, I downloaded and installed 7zip 9.04 beta: the additional data is still stripped from the PDF.
