Change author name in Acrobat reader

I like to change the other name in pdf made in acrobat reader. How and were can I do this. Thanks for any help.

You can't "Make" a PDF using Adobe Reader. It's for viewing/printing.
Generally, author information is placed in the PDF at the time it is created by the software being used by the original document. Either that or it can be added later by using Adobe Acrobat.

Changing Login Name in Acrobat Reader

Is there an easy way to change your login name (the name reader uses as an author name when commenting)?
It is a pretty easy process in Pro, but my Reader uses need to change their author name as well
any help?

Could you be alittle more specific. Because if I try to change the preference entry:
Preferences -> Identity -> Login Name
I will not change, it is locked down. What preference specifically are you changing?

Problem in openig some PDF file names in Acrobat Reader

I didn't test in other versions of the OS or with other versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader, but in Windows 7 Enterprise (with SP1) 64 bit, vith virtual apllications service installed, when a PDF file has in the name the letters CR (caps), tries to open Adobe Acrobat Reader with the VAppLaucher and says
"Before proceeding you must first lauch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User Licence Agreement",
even with the normal Adobe Acrobat Reader already configured in the local machine.
As soon as I change the name of the PDF file, it works without any problem.

Save as PDF - Change Author Name?

In any application when you go to Print, Save as PDF is there any way to change the default author name it already has written there?

Unfortunately, that's not the answer that anyone is looking for. It's not changing the author name that is desired, but changing the author name that comes up by default when you save as PDF so that you don't have to select the author field and change it from your username. The goal is to remove steps, not to add steps.

Problem changing author name in commention tools

Hi Forum
Whenever I do commenting in Acrobat 8, it will use my short name as author.
I would like to change that, and I don't want to change properties for each and every comment.
In the Acrobat preferences, I have unchecked "Always use log-in name for Authors name" under Commenting, but Acrobat still uses "Login name" under Identity.
Is there a way to get Acrobat to use the Identity:Name preferences instead?
Kind regards
Lars

You also need to change the comment name in the tooll and then 'use as
default' option ....

Changing Author names that appear on iTunes.

I recently took over hosting duties for my show and got a new co-host, how do I change the author names on iTunes to the current hosts?

The name is carried in the 'itunes:author' tag; if, as is usually the case, you are not hand-writing the feed but using a program or online service to create your feed you will need to change it wherever the original name was entered, and then re-publish. It will take the Store a few days to catch up.

Change author name in properties

I have a PDF created by someone else and I need to anonymise it before sending it on. This means I need to change the author information in the document Properties, but although I can click the author name and highlight it, I can't change it. Has anyone come across this? Does anyone have a solution other than going back to the original author, who presumably would be able to change it?

Hi alisons68876995,
You might need to try this out:
Go to "Edit> Preferences> Commenting" and disable "Always use log-in name for author name" option.
Then, make a comment in the PDF and once done, go to Comment properties (Click on options in the comment pop-up) and the choose 'General' to choose the author name.
Now, accept the changes, click on options again and choose 'Make properties default'.
Now, adding a new comment will now include your name.
Please check and then let me know.

Changing File Names w/o Reading Data?

Hi All,
I'm trying to get Labview to change the name of files in a directory,
without having to read the data.
I'll have a variety of data sets (text, binary, PDF files, etc), and
would like to rename them.
Any hints? I tried using the "open/create/replace file.vi" by opening
the file, read the file, close it, create a new file, write it, close
it, but it doesn't work. I've also tried "copy" primitive under the
advanced file functions, but only get new directories created with
files in them. The following is what I got when I used it:
For example, the directory “c:\stuff” , will have files
"file1.aaa, file2.BBB and file3.ccc", if I want to rename
“file1.aaa” into the file named "1file.AAA" by using the
"copy" primitive (in the Advanced File Functions), then I get a folder
called "1file.AAA" with the three files, "file1.aaa, file2.BBB and
file3.ccc", in them.
I can manipulate directories, copy files into new ones, but not rename
files.
Kind regards,
-Dorian

Yes... I figured out what I was doing wrong. Using the "Copy"
primitive, I was including the file name AND path, which was read as a
new folder with the name of the file. If I remove the path, it will
copy the files to the same directory, with the name I wanted.
Thanks!

Change author name

How do I change the author's name in book, the book has already been published.
Thanks.

Hello there,
If you're using Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader, as I suspect you are, you can change your personal information (such as login name, first and last name, and email address) by going to the "Acrobat" menu (or "Reader" menu) and selecting "Preferences"; then, choose the category "Identity" and change your information as necessary.
For future questions about these products, kindly post them in the Acrobat or Reader forums; this forum is for questions pertaining to Acrobat.com, and we are not usually able to answer questions about other Adobe products and services.

Change Left Margins in Acrobat Reader XI to allow binding space.

I trying to leave enough room on the left margin to allow for a spiral binding. I have a 171 page document (manual for Samsung Camera) which I would like to put in a 8" X 5" format printed on fronts and backs. I have gotten every thing sized properly but do not have sufficient space for a spiral binding on the left margin. Is there a way to shift the document to the right to provide for binding space? I am using Windows 7 Pro (64bit) and an Epson WF-3520 color printer.

Although I did not find a cause for the errors, I did find a workaround in my case.
This only happens when running the Javascript Debugger in Acrobat XI Pro. If you turn it off, you can Reader Extend the document. If you turn it on, you have to cycle through all of the debugger errors/warnings using the arrow button in the top left corner of the debugger window, then close that window. Still not sure what the errors are for, but at least I got the form to work.

Change toolbar name in Acrobat X SDK

I have a plugin from Acrobat 8 & 9 and when it shows up in X under the tools menu it displays as "Plug-In File". How do I go about customizing the title of this toolbar?

It won't let me post them inline but here is a link: h t t p ://tinyurl.com/42undsp
The "Plug-in" part dissappeared after I ran an update to Acrobat so it now just says "File" which I can only assume is because I have attached the buttons to the file toolbar (this actually makes sense for us). I guess what I need to do is create a custom tool bar and add the buttons to that but I can't seem to make it work. If I'm on the right track with that then any pointers you can give me on creating a custom toolbar that will actually show up in v10 would be great! Thanks.

PDF File - Author Name and Title

Product: Adobe Acrobat Standard Version 8.1.2
Product: Microsoft Access 2003 Windows XP Professional
Problem: When creating PDF documents using Microsoft Access forms as the source, the PDF document is created with a title and author other than what is desired. Thus I have to manually enter the desired information into the PDF document.
Question 1: Where is the default information (author and title) being sourced from?
Question 2: How do I change this default information.

You can edit the Name in Acrobat/Reader's Identity object, but login name is pass from the OS. But changing the Name in the identity object will not change the "Author" name of the PDF. You could try setting the Author/User name in FrameMaker's properties. If that does not work, you can create an Acrobat menu item, tool bar button, or batch process to change the "Author" name value in the PDF's by using JavaScript.

Changing Clip Name

I understand that the best time to name a clip is when capturing. And changing a clip name will pose a problem when reconnecting media.
However, if the "clip name" is changed via "item properties" in the browser AND the "QT file" in the "Capture Scratch file" is changed at the finder level (or if Modify/Rename/File to Match Clip is used) is the above problem averted? Or is it more complex than that?
Within a simple single project, if changing the clip name is OK using "Modify/Rename/File to Match Clip" why is changing a clip name considered so taboo?

Where it's taboo is in collaborative projects (meaning you have to merge cuts with other editors, but using the same media) as well as projects that are offline/online, since a key piece of tracking data (especially with tapeless workflows) is the clip name.
I'd consider most situations outside of those mentioned to be 'simple projects,' and thus hardly scenarios where changing clip names is taboo.
