Security/sensitivity labels for PDFs in Sharepoint
I am trying to configure security/sensitivity labels for PDF's in Sharepoint.
I initially followed Adobe instructions to enable MPIP in Acrobat which enabled the application of labels.

That was followed by running a Powershell to enable PDF sensitivity labelling.

I am now able to apply/update labels in Sharepoint for PDFs which is great however if I apply a label within Acrobat and upload the file into Sharepoint the label does not appear as metadata. Is this the expected behaviour?
If I download the PDF and open it in Acrobat, the label is still attached.
My assumption was that if a label was applied in Sharepoint and viewable in Acrobat, the reverse would also work.

- vicwingsingIron Contributorhi DT35123, I assume it's the limitation of the platform. I have a similar experience in my tenant. I'm not able to see the metadata of PDFs but the Office apps (word, xls, ppt) is Ok.
