I also tested PDF save to disk, which didn't add any extra metadata that I could find.

After PDF to PDF conversion, Adobe reader (on OS X) shows unrendered HTML from Comments in Subject, while Skim shows Subject as blank. Neither reader application showed metadata from custom columns. On the 2 PDFs I tested, anyway.

If all that metadata is being stored in the PDF, where is it stored and how does one access it from within the PDF reader, if not in "Properties" or "Get Info"? Or if it wasn't stored in those tested PDFs but could have been, with some arcane technique, what is the arcane technique?

ETA. And does it depend on various security settings of the PDF file?
