I couldn't find a way to do this with actions, but is it possible to change the author or other document properties (description) on multiple PDF files?
 
I'd like to change the author to my company name, not my computer name.
 
Thank you.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 10.1, Windows

You can use a JavaScript action, just a single line:


// Set the author property
info.Author = "Your company name goes here";

You could also use Arts PDF Workshop with the Acrobat Standard.

Thanks guys, both of those look very handy. I also found that I can do it in Adobe Bridge.

I'll bookmark these for other things I may need to do in the future!
