Hi! I have Acrobat 7.0 Standard and I create lots of PDFs. Is there a way to remove the current name (my name) in the "Author" field under File > Description? I have to have to go in each time and deleted it? Can I do this without having to reinstall the software? TIA for any help on this.

Otherwise use a batch process to change the document information - this is pretty easy and can be run on entire folders ...

You could add a custom menu item in your version of Acrobat that can remove the Author or other info for the currently open PDF.
Thanks for the replies.gkaiseril, how do I create a custom menu item? can you run through the steps with me? thanks.

The following script needs to be placed in one of Acrobat's Javascirpts folders, Program Files, or user settings, in a file with the ",JS" extension.
// add a menu item to the document menu to remove the author from the PDF properties
app.addMenuItem({ cName: "RemoveAuthor", cUser: "Remove Author", cParent:
"Document", cExec: "this.info.Author = ''", cEnable: "event.rc = (event.target != null);" });
The menu item will be at the bottom of the "Documents" menu option and will only be available when a document is open in Acrobat. It will also only be on your system if placed in the "Program Files" or your occurrence of Acrobat if placed in your user settings application folder.
