Document properties access with scripting

You can set and retrieve document property values within a custom scripting step.

To retrieve, modify and create document properties, you will use the props variable within the document for loop. This is a normal Java Properties object and you can get and set values with the getProperty() and setProperty() methods, respectively. This Properties object contains both standard and dynamic document properties.

note

Document properties (standard and dynamic) are not accessible through scripting in a map function. Use a "Get Document Property" or "Set Document Property" function step instead.

import java.util.Properties;
import java.io.InputStream;

for( int i = 0; i < dataContext.getDataCount(); i++ ) {
InputStream is = dataContext.getStream(i);

// Here is the Properties object for the current Document
Properties props = dataContext.getProperties(i);



dataContext.storeStream(is, props);
}
