Limitations:

1.You can only display the properties which appear in PDF Description and Custom (ISBN and Product No. though of value to me, do not appear for example). The writer of the program did not write a more robust program.
2.Changing "displayed" values as a best practice should be done within your PDF Metadata Tool. Changing them via Windows Explorer will lead cause problems (see next)
3.The reason Microsoft did not implement is because extra metadata is not retained if you copy a PDF to a FAT32 formatted drive. While you might have modified the reference, FAT32 doeesnt do that. This is not horrible BECAUSE IF THE PROPERTIES are IN the PDF, they stay in the PDF if you copy the file back later to an NTFS drive.
