Ok, if you are able to locate the extracted metadata in log by AbstractMappingMetadataExtracter/PdfBoxMetadataExtracter and check that Found: {..............} has 'created/modified' metadata but Mapped and Accepted: {............} doesn't show it then here is what could be happening.
- When file is uploaded, during node creation cm:auditable aspect is applied. It contains "cm:created" and "cm:modified" properties which are set during the node creation. These properties are protected and mandatory properties (see the details below) defined in ootb content-model.xml. When a property is defined as "protected", it means once the value is set, it can not be updated i.e. becomes read-only.
So, these values are set at the time of node creation and marked read-only after that.
<property name="cm:created">
<title>Created</title>
<type>d:datetime</type>
<protected>true</protected>
<mandatory enforced="true">true</mandatory>
<index enabled="true">
<atomic>true</atomic>
<stored>false</stored>
<tokenised>both</tokenised>
<facetable>true</facetable>
</index>
</property>
<property name="cm:modified">
<title>Modified</title>
<type>d:datetime</type>
<protected>true</protected>
<mandatory enforced="true">true</mandatory>
<index enabled="true">
<atomic>true</atomic>
<stored>false</stored>
<tokenised>both</tokenised>
<facetable>true</facetable>
</index>
</property>
The alternative solution for this would be create your custom properties in your custom content model; and keep the created/modified matadata values on those custom properties for your use. Unless you want to override the default behavior of auditable aspect properties which i believe would not be a good idea.
For example:::::
Create following properties in your custom content model:
<aspect name="demo:customAuditMetadata">
<title>Custom Audit Metadata</title>
<description>Custom Audit Metadata</description>
<properties>
<property name="demo:originCreatedDate">
<title>Original Created Date</title>
<description>Created date of files based on incoming metadata extracted from metadata extractor</description>
<type>d:text</type>
</property>
<property name="demo:originModifiedDate">
<title>Original Modified Date</title>
<description>Modified date of files based on incoming metadata extracted from metadata extractor</description>
<type>d:text</type>
</property>
</properties>
</aspect>
Add following bean definition and add the above properties in the mappingProperties:
<bean id="extracter.PDFBox" class="org.alfresco.repo.content.metadata.PdfBoxMetadataExtracter" parent="baseMetadataExtracter">
<property name="documentSelector" ref="pdfBoxEmbededDocumentSelector" />
<property name="inheritDefaultMapping">
<value>false</value>
</property>
<property name="overwritePolicy">
<!-- Allow extraction happens all the time (e.g. when content is updated or new version is uploaded).-->
<value>EAGER</value>
</property>
<property name="mappingProperties">
<props>
<prop key="namespace.prefix.demo">http://www.github.com/model/demo/1.0</prop>
<prop key="created">demo:originCreatedDate</prop>
<prop key="modified">demo:originModifiedDate</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
- Update the share config to display the newly added properties on document-details page as needed.
