Checks whether a property with a specific name already exists in a document. A document can be an Office file in XML format, a PDF, JPEG, PNG, or TIFF file.

bExists = Object.Exists(sName)

Object	DocumentProperties <DataPlugin> Object with this method
sName	String Specifies the name of the custom property.
bExists	Boolean Specifies whether the custom property with the specified name already exists (TRUE) or not (FALSE).

The following example only transfers the properties of a specific namespace of the document into the data set properties if this document was edited by the author Meier.

Copy script

Dim sNamespace, oMyNamespaceProps, oMyProp
If Document.Properties.Exists("author") Then
  If Document.Properties("author").Value = "Meier" Then
    sNamespace = "http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/"
    If Document.Namespaces.Exists(sNamespace) Then 
      Set oMyNamespaceProps = Document.Namespaces(sNamespace).Properties
      For each oMyProp in oMyNamespaceProps
        Call Root.Properties.Add(oMyProp.Name, oMyProp.Value)
      Next  
    End If
  End If
End If
