Default Convert custom document properties to pdf

I don't know for certain, but it may not be possible. This may be a feature
of the .pdf format rather than of Word. The .pdf format was not developed by
Microsoft. The developers (Adobe? They write Acrobat) probably programmed
it to pick up certain standard properties that they knew were available in
Microsoft Office documents. If you are familiar with pre-2007 Office, you'll
note it's not just custom properties that aren't picked up, but anything from
the last tab of the Properties dialog. Everything they pick up is the
standard stuff on the second tab.
