Hello. I am using the DebenuPDFLibraryLite1114.dll activex in a Delphi 10.2 program. My program reads the 9 properties from pdf files located in a folder and writes them out to a text file. It is a console program with no UI. When I run the program in a command window or from windows explorer it runs fine.

When I run the program from within Oracle XE 11.g using the DBMS_Scheduler the program runs fine and properties are written to the external text file, except for properties GetInformation(n) 1, 2, 3 and 4. These are the properties Author, Title, Subject and Keywords. They are null. But when I run the program not in Oracle, on the same set of pdf documents as the Oracle run, these properties are correctly extracted.

I do not know the details of the environment when the program runs using the Oracle DBMS_Scheduler. The DBMS_Scheduler provides an Oracle stored procedure the ability to run OS level commands and external programs and I think it would be the same environment as a command window. But the fact that some of the properties, PDFVersion, Creator, Producer, CreationDate and ModificationDate are correctly extracted and others not is very peculiar.

Has anyone seen behavior where not all the pdf file metadata properties are returned in the PDFLite activeX?

Is there a newer version of the PDFLite ActiveX than 11.14?

Any ideas and help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Hardee.
