Howdy-
I'm running Acrobat Standard 9.4 on Win 7. When I am in a non-Acrobat program, I am able to use the Adobe PDF printer to print my documents to pdf just fine. And when I look (in Windows) at the Properties->PDF information, my identity is filled out and correct.
When I use an alternate method of pdf creation, however, my identity is not filled out. I have tried, from Acrobat, Create from File, Create from Web Page, and Create from Clipboard- all work in that a new pdf with the appropriate content is created, but none have my Author information filled out.
In Preferences->Identity, I have my named filled out.
In Preferences->Commenting, I have 'Always use Login-Name for Author name' enabled, though I have tried tests with both.
Is there a way to get Acrobat to fill in, automatically, my identity information on any and all pdf's I create?
Thanks,
J

How is there not a consistent way of showing an author? That's just silly. Adobe- I complain!
Thanks for letting me know.
I've poked around but can't find these preferences of which you speak. Where would these conversion options be? I'm using 2007.
Thanks

In an MS Office application, there should be an "Adobe PDF" option on the menu bar, select this item and then select the "Change Conversion Settings" option. Make sure the "Convert Document Information" option is selected.
The pop-up for the conversion settings also has a help button for more information.
If you do not have the 'Adobe PDF' option, you will need to repair or reinstall Acrobat and make sure your macro security settings allow use the Acrobat macros.
The MS Office properties are only used when the 'Convert to PDF' option is used.

In MS Office you can set a conversion option to include the MS Office properties. Now you only need to complete properties in MS Office.
