Ater trying it out, I see that Gab's answer is correct - my bad. OOXML provides many things not available in the APIs, but custom document properties are not returned. Nor are they available through the CustomXMLParts API. – Cindy Meister Dec 09 '15 at 17:03

Thanks for for the confirmation @CindyMeister – Parvez Khan Dec 17 '15 at 07:13

There currently no OfficeJS APIs that allows you to read custom document properties. However, feel free to request one on the Office Extensibility Platform's UserVoice.
