Is there ANY way document properties of a LiveCycle form, such as author, can be maintained when the form is opened in Acrobat?

Try this JavaScript on the Initialize event: e.g. on form1::initialize

This will transfers Designer Form Properties to Acrobat Document Properties. Open the Designer 7.1 file in Acrobat, Save As. Be sure to repeat the process if there are ANY changes to the document.

//use a try/catch because these Acrobat properties are read only in Reader and we do not want a useless error message shown to the user.

try {
event.target.info.Title = this.desc.title.value;
event.target.info.Author = this.desc.creator.value;
event.target.info.Subject = this.desc.description.value;
event.target.info.CreationDate = this.desc.created.value;
event.target.info.ModDate = this.desc.issued.value;
} catch (e) {}
