### Examples

Shows how to export custom properties while converting a document to PDF.

```python
doc = aw.Document()
doc.custom_document_properties.add(name='Company', value='My value')
# Create a "PdfSaveOptions" object that we can pass to the document's "Save" method
# to modify how that method converts the document to .PDF.
options = aw.saving.PdfSaveOptions()
# Set the "CustomPropertiesExport" property to "PdfCustomPropertiesExport.None" to discard
# custom document properties as we save the document to .PDF.
# Set the "CustomPropertiesExport" property to "PdfCustomPropertiesExport.Standard"
# to preserve custom properties within the output PDF document.
# Set the "CustomPropertiesExport" property to "PdfCustomPropertiesExport.Metadata"
# to preserve custom properties in an XMP packet.
options.custom_properties_export = pdf_custom_properties_export_mode
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'PdfSaveOptions.CustomPropertiesExport.pdf', save_options=options)
```
