Can Box auto-populate the metadata fields in a custom metadata template by extracting them from a PDF that has the key/value pair metadata in the Custom Properties field? 

Our PDF creator can inject this information on compile, so it'd be nice if Box could then pull that info out and fill in the metadata in the Box metadata template we have created. The fields and custom properties share the same name (eg, Part Number, Description, Publish Data, Languge-Region, etc.).
