We have created forms using Adobe Designer 7 but we cannot set the title metadata. When we try to add this in Acrobat Professional 7, the field is locked. Our site search depends on this title field being present.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 7.0.0, Windows

In both Acrobat 7 and Acrobat 8 the document metadata can be set with JavaScript. For Example, the document title is set with:

this.info.title = "My Title";

Run this code from the console window.
