You need to add edit form entry in your share-config-custom.xml

   <form id="doclib-simple-metadata">
            <field-visibility>
               <show id="cm:name" />
                   …..
                   …..
                 put all the properties you want to show
             </field-visibility>
   </form>

above configuration.

Hello,

I tried to do so, but with no luck.
Adding a new field in share-config-custom is quite easy.
It's a little bit more difficult to add the document (cm:content). I tried to add "cm-content" (with some inspiration from original forms-config.xml), but I'm only able to get a content textbox (same as you get with inline-edit). Not what you want if you need to see the PDF next to the properties.
I made some searches also in Form Designer, but with no result.

Has anybody a working config sample for displaying document when editing metadata ?

If the mimetype of your d:content is text you can configure content/richtext controls to render your field,for example

               <field id="cm:content">
                  <control template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/textarea.ftl" />
               </field>
or
               <field id="cm:content">
                  <control template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/content.ftl" />
               </field>

If mimetype is not text ,you should add customizing controls to render it,for example embed pdf-renderer in your customizing control to render pdf.
