**Inheritance:**
java.lang.Object
```
public class PropertyType
```

Specifies data type of a document property.

 **Examples:** 

Shows how to work with a document's custom properties.

```

 Document doc = new Document();
 CustomDocumentProperties properties = doc.getCustomDocumentProperties();

 Assert.assertEquals(0, properties.getCount());

 // Custom document properties are key-value pairs that we can add to the document.
 properties.add("Authorized", true);
 properties.add("Authorized By", "John Doe");
 properties.add("Authorized Date", new Date());
 properties.add("Authorized Revision", doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getRevisionNumber());
 properties.add("Authorized Amount", 123.45);

 // The collection sorts the custom properties in alphabetic order.
 Assert.assertEquals(1, properties.indexOf("Authorized Amount"));
 Assert.assertEquals(5, properties.getCount());

 // Print every custom property in the document.
 Iterator enumerator = properties.iterator();
 while (enumerator.hasNext()) {
     DocumentProperty property = enumerator.next();
     System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("Name: \"{0}\"\n\tType: \"{1}\"\n\tValue: \"{2}\"", property.getName(), property.getType(), property.getValue()));
 }

 // Display the value of a custom property using a DOCPROPERTY field.
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
 FieldDocProperty field = (FieldDocProperty) builder.insertField(" DOCPROPERTY \"Authorized By\"");
 field.update();

 Assert.assertEquals("John Doe", field.getResult());

 // We can find these custom properties in Microsoft Word via "File" -> "Properties" > "Advanced Properties" > "Custom".
 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "DocumentProperties.DocumentPropertyCollection.docx");

 // Below are three ways or removing custom properties from a document.
 // 1 -  Remove by index:
 properties.removeAt(1);

 Assert.assertFalse(properties.contains("Authorized Amount"));
 Assert.assertEquals(4, properties.getCount());

 // 2 -  Remove by name:
 properties.remove("Authorized Revision");

 Assert.assertFalse(properties.contains("Authorized Revision"));
 Assert.assertEquals(3, properties.getCount());

 // 3 -  Empty the entire collection at once:
 properties.clear();

 Assert.assertEquals(0, properties.getCount());
