A name of the custom property.

Property Value

Type	Description
Object

An object that is the value of the property specified by its name.

Remarks

When assigning a value, creates the property if the property with the specified name does not exist. The type of the created property depends on the type of the assigned value, as illustrated below.

Value Type	Custom Property Type
String	Text
Integer	Number
Double	Number
Boolean	Yes or no
Bookmark	Text linked to a bookmark

If the property exists, assigns the specified value to it and changes the property’s type according to the type of the assigned value.

When obtaining the value, returns a System.Object instance. You can use the GetType() method to determine the type of the returned value. Cast it to a proper type for subsequent use.

Note

You can use DocumentCustomProperties.Add method overrides to create a new property and specify its value. However, if the property already exists, Add methods throw an exception.
