Select whether to save the Notes document field values to PDF metadata (document fields are transferred to PDF as Field name -> Value pairs). The metadata can later be extracted from the PDF in XML format using SWING PDF Converter's API. A small code sample that demonstrates this functionality is available in SWING PDF Converter database. An additional check-box provides the option to export the Notes field values to sidecar XML files.

If enabled, document attachments will not be embedded inside the created PDF document.
If enabled, image attachments (such as png, jpg, gif, bmp) will be displayed within the PDF document as images and not as attachment icons.
