Keep Acrobat from adding doc title and location to PDF

Have you disabled the headerrs and footers in the "Create from Web Page"?

If you are using the PDF Maker button in a web browser, you will need to remove the header and footer information from the "Page Setup" for the web browser.

As mentioned, I'm using the "Create from Multiple Files" option, not the "create from web page option".

I'm doing this from inside of Acrobat itself. I click the "create from multiple files" option, I then click on "add folders" and select the folder with my files in it. This particular screen has 3 conversion settings (smaller, default, larger). I use the default setting.

This screen also has an "options" button, but the only options have nothing to do with headers/footers. They are enable accessibilty and add bookmarks, both of which are unchecked.

Once I add the files and click "next" I'm taken to another screen asking to merge into one file or a package. No other available options. Once I click "create" that's it. The final PDF is done.

The doc title and location/generation date are included. I can't believe there's not a simple way to turn that off.

Any other ideas?

Ran some trials - the following works with Acrobat 8 Pro or Acrobat 3D (fully updated).
Fundamentally, George hit the nail on the head.

1. File > Create PDF > From Web Page
2. Click on Settings
3. Uncheck "Place headers and footers on new page"
4. OK
5. Browse - to any HTML on the local/network drive
6. Create

This appears to "set" the selection made in 3, above.
Save and close the PDF. Delete it later.

7. Use Combine Files to grab the target HTML files and output the Binder PDF.
8. No header/footer path present in the output PDF.

Close Acrobat. Reopen. Go directly to Combine files. Grab HTMLs, process, & output the Binder PDF.
Again, no header/footer with path present.

Don't know if the setting "holds" after shutdown of the computer and restart later.

Be well...

I'll be trying that momentarily. If it works, that will be wonderful. Spent about 2 hours with that earlier. What a frustrating quirk!

And yes, I can confirm that once you go through the process of creating via web page and uncheck the headers/footers box, you can then go back through using the multi-file option and it holds the setting.

Again, what an odd and frustrating quirk!

Thanks to all for keeping me from wasting ANOTHER couple of hours on this tonight and tomorrow.

This is the only place within Acrobat where one has access to the options for HTML conversion to PDF. This is also the one routine that performs the conversion from HTML to PDF.

Absolutely. I get that. I just find it very odd that, at least. this version of acrobat, forces you to create a "dummy" pdf of sorts through that routine, in order to set a setting to be utilized in another routine entirely.

It would seem to make more sense to simply have a "web page capture settings" area outside of either routine (such as in the "preferences" area). OH well, it's not the first time I've disagreed with software engineers and it certainly won't be the last. :)

Thanks again for the assistance.

I have an additional question. AutoCAD, Excel, Word and other programs allow users to embed the documents location, subfolder and folders up to the main drive in the document itself. Does acrobat have this ability?
