Issue: Albums Metadata Field as List on PDF Import

Mike: In performing tests to make sure I can form PDF metadata in my docs that will import well into MobileSheets I just now noticed an oddity. Not in MobileSheets, but the PDFs. 

In my test I replaced the comma separator with a semi-colon for the "Album" field I created in a PDF doc. What I noticed is that when I then query the metadata in my PDF doc using exiftool the output is showing both a semi-colon and a comma. It looks like this: Album: Album 1;, Album 2 

When I import this into MobileSheets I get a single item in the Albums property that looks like: Album 1; Album 2

I can't explain why the comma got added. And maybe it's only really in exiftool's terminal output display from the command I use to show me all the PDF's properties. However, MobileSheets didn't separate the two entries using either the comma or the semi-colon. I'll try to investigate a bit further.

I've attached three docs - the PDF with the offending field in it. A screenshot of the exiftool listing of this PDF's properties. And a screenshot of the MobileSheets properties page after importing that PDF.
