Thank you for you advice! I'll give it a try next week and I'll let you know about my progress...

Cheers

Hi! I have developed a Media Factory successfully taking a look at the source code, as you told me. Since DMU is now part of Umbraco, I have used the source code from the umbraco codeplex site (located here http://umbraco.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/6e569de7740a). There is a minor change, since there is an Extensions property that has to be implemented also.

Well, here is the code for the Media Factory:

---

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using umbraco;
using System.IO;
using iTextSharp.text.pdf;
using System.Text;
using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.media;
namespace JSV.Umbraco.cms.businesslogic.media
{
    public class UmbracoPdfDocumentMediaFactory : UmbracoMediaFactory
    {
        public override string MediaTypeAlias
        {
            get { return "PdfDocument"; }
        }
        public override List<string> Extensions
        {
            get { return new List<string> { "pdf" }; }
        }
        public override void DoHandleMedia(umbraco.cms.businesslogic.media.Media media, PostedMediaFile uploadedFile, umbraco.BusinessLogic.User user)
        {
            // Get umbracoFile property
            var propertyId = media.getProperty("umbracoFile").Id;
            // Get paths
            var destFileName = ConstructDestFileName(propertyId, uploadedFile.FileName);
            var destPath = ConstructDestPath(propertyId);
            var destFilePath = VirtualPathUtility.Combine(destPath, destFileName);
            var ext = VirtualPathUtility.GetExtension(destFileName).Substring(1);
            var absoluteDestPath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(destPath);
            var absoluteDestFilePath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(destFilePath);
            // Set media properties
            media.getProperty("umbracoFile").Value = destFilePath;
            media.getProperty("umbracoBytes").Value = uploadedFile.ContentLength.ToString();
            if (media.getProperty("umbracoExtension") != null)
                media.getProperty("umbracoExtension").Value = ext;
            if (media.getProperty("umbracoExtensio") != null)
                media.getProperty("umbracoExtensio").Value = ext;
            var reader = new PdfReader(uploadedFile.InputStream);
            //Fill the additional properties
            if (media.getProperty("umbracoPdfTitle") != null)
            media.getProperty("umbracoPdfTitle").Value = reader.Info.Where(p => p.Key == "Title").FirstOrDefault().Value;
            if (media.getProperty("umbracoPdfAuthor") != null)
            media.getProperty("umbracoPdfAuthor").Value = reader.Info.Where(p => p.Key == "Author").FirstOrDefault().Value;
            if (media.getProperty("umbracoPdfVersion") != null)
            media.getProperty("umbracoPdfVersion").Value = reader.PdfVersion;
            if (media.getProperty("umbracoPdfNumberOfPages") != null)
            media.getProperty("umbracoPdfNumberOfPages").Value = reader.NumberOfPages.ToString();
            if (media.getProperty("umbracoPdfTableOfContent") != null)
            media.getProperty("umbracoPdfTableOfContent").Value = GenerateTextBookmark(reader);

            // Create directory
            if (UmbracoSettings.UploadAllowDirectories)
                Directory.CreateDirectory(absoluteDestPath);
            // Save file
            uploadedFile.SaveAs(absoluteDestFilePath);
            // Close stream
            uploadedFile.InputStream.Close();
            // Save media
            media.Save();
        }
        private static string GenerateTextBookmark(PdfReader reader)
        {
            IEnumerable<Dictionary<string, object>> bookmarks = SimpleBookmark.GetBookmark(reader);
            if (bookmarks == null)
                return String.Empty;
            var builder = new StringBuilder();
            return GenerateBookmarkSection(bookmarks, builder);
        }
        private static string GenerateBookmarkSection(IEnumerable<Dictionary<string, object>> section, StringBuilder builder)
        {
            if (section == null) return String.Empty;
            builder.Append("<ul>");
            foreach (var bookmark in section)
            {
                object value;
                bookmark.TryGetValue("Title", out value);
                builder.Append("<li>");
                builder.Append(value.ToString());
                if (bookmark.Count == 5)
                {
                    GenerateBookmarkSection((IEnumerable<Dictionary<string, object>>)bookmark.Values.Last(), builder);
                }
                builder.Append("</li>");
            }
            builder.Append("</ul>");
            return builder.ToString();
        }
    }
}

You will need to add a reference to iTextSharp library (I used version 5.1.1).

The only problem I could not manage to fix is when I try to set the property "umbracoBytes" to the value of uploadedFile.ContentLength. It throws me an exception that basically, can not convert int to Ntext. I imagined that the problem was on the Media Type definition, since that property uses the "Label" Data Type, which has its property "Database datatype" to "Ntext". But I've checked that Image and File Media types also have this setting, but it doesn't crashes like me. Anyway, simply casted ContentLength to String and the problem is workarounded.

Thank you once again for your help and I hope this can help anyone who faces a similar problem

That's brilliant! Nice work. Glad you got it working in the end.
