Within Word 2004, it's pretty obscure, but from what I can see, (and Paul
Berkowitz should be correcting me if I'm wrong"), it's the value of
"document property 3"

Thank god for Script Debugger.

So sample code that's worked for me:

tell application "Microsoft Word"
    set theDocument to active document
    set theAuthor to value of document property 3 of theDocument
end tell

As far as PDF goes, that gets trickier, because you have to decide what
application you're scripting. The Finder/Standard additions only know about
the Unix owner of the file. For Acrobat, just use Javascript, it's
applescript implementation is teh suck.
