Author name changing 9.0 Pro

Using 9.0 Pro - recently had to change from XP to 7.
Initially started learning 7.0 with Account name of David - no special security.
Then as I get more knowledgeable in Win 7 and IAW recommendations  I set up an "Administrator" account with PW of "Dr. XXXXX" that allows me access to everythhing, but also allows malicious folks in also. Win 7 recommendation was to also have a non-secure account for everyday less-sensitive tasks so I did this also with the PW of "Dr. XXXXX".
Naturally I want to use the Dr. XXXX in my Stickies for professional clout, but Acrobat insists on using David.
Yes, I know about the tick-mark under "properties" where I can specify that my ID in the stickie is to be my log-in name. Yes, I have tried unchecking, rebooting, re-checking, rebooting, etc. Acrobat refuses to use eith my "administrator" or my non-secure name of Dr. XXXX. Frustrating.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Neptune

Hi Bill - thanks for the response.
I am now beginning to "cone in" a bit am better able to describe the
problem:
1.  As I stated at the start, I am using Acrobat 9.0 Pro and Win7
2.  As I go to: Edit...preferences...commenting...making
comments...(checkbox) Always use log-in name for author name.
    Whether or not this box is checked or unchecked the result is the same:
I go to Sticky Note on the taskbar, place it on the page, go to
Options...properties...general...author I find "David". Yes, I can change
the Author Name, but whether or not I further check the box, "Make
properties default" thr result is the same - that one sticky will have the
correct "Dr. XXXX" but the next sticky, as well as subsequent PDFs once
again default to "David.
3.   Thanks to ***** (whose four links all quite happily referred me to the
Acrobat X page (I clearly stated 9.0 Pro) then quoted a generic OS (rather
than my clearly-stated Win 7) I finally figured out the problem when I
accessed the 9.0 Pro help in the far right lower corner of the Acrobat X
page. Dumb of me, I admit but I had tried this initially in my own program
"help" without really understanding what was happening.
SO HERE IS PART OF THE ANSWER: The overall basic "author" information
appears to reside in Edit...Preferences...Identity...Login Name (type-in
box) David. Now the fun part. I am unable to change the Log-in name and thus
am unable to change the sticky note. When I try to change the Log-in name I
get a cheery tone, a blinking box, and no was to change David to Dr. XXXX.
Well, it does seem that once I can change the ...Identity...log-in name I
should be able to change the sticky PERMANENTLY.
So I apologize if I have seemed a bit grouchy, and I do appreciate those of
you who have tried to help, but it does get frustrating when those trying to
help express a solution that uses totally unrecognized words, or do not get
even the Adobe  product correct, or the OS...
SO - now the underlying problem is defined. ...
USING WIN 7 AND ACROBAT 9.0 PRO, HOW DO I CHANGE THE LOGIN NAME UNDER
EDIT...PREFERENCES...IDENTITY if I am not allowed access?
Again - apologies to all, but the time I have spent...

    If you see where it says Adam (in the picture above), I changed that in my RSS feed, but it still says the same thing in the Music Store. I am guessing that will change next time it updates my podcast, but am I wrong?

    Please read my question carefully, this is, I think, a question for the experts. It's not the usual name change question.
    When I setup my new MacBook Pro, something slipped by me and my computer was named First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro (using my real first and last name).
    I changed the computer name in Preferences/Sharing to a new name and Preferences/Accounts to just be Mike. I can right click on my account name, choose advanced, and see that everything looks right.
    However, If I do a scan of my network with my iPhone using the free version of IP Scanner, it lists my computer as First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro! And it lists the user as First-Last.
    So even though another Mac just sees my new computer name, and my home folder is Mike, somewhere in the system the original setup with my full name is still stored. And it's available on a network scan. So my full name might show up at a coffee shop.
    Can I fully change the name without doing a complete re-install of Lion and all my apps?

    One thought... you said the iPhone displayed your computer's old name? I think that you must have used the iPhone with this computer before you changed the name. So no one else's iPhone should display your full name unless that iPhone had previously connected to your Mac. For example, I did this exact same change, and I use the Keynote Remote app to connect with my MacBook Pro. It would no longer link with my MacBook Pro under the old name, and I found that I had to unlink and then create a new link under the new name. So the answer to your question is, there is nothing you need to do on the Mac, but rather the phone, and no other phone will display your full name.

  • How do I change the name of my macbook pro?

    How do I change the name of my macbook pro.  My full name is listed on it and I want to change that.  In the upper right hand corner it is correct but all that lists is my login name.

    Mr. Pat, there are some people who still try to do that, but you are risking losing all your music, photos, email, etc. It is not for the faint of heart.  This page, albeit published in 2003 by Dr. Smoke, is still pretty valid, IMHO:
    http://thexlab.com/faqs/renamehomerecovery.html
    Here's the opening copy:
    Recover from renaming your Home folder
    It is a grave mistake to rename your Home folder -- changing its file name from johnsmith toJohn, for example -- in an attempt to change the short name for your account when using Mac® OS X.
    Here's a newer, last scary article from the Apple Knowledge Base:

  • How to change "_review" at the end of the file name in Acrobat XI Pro

    For our business workflow, we need to be able to change the "_review" at the end of the file name when creating shared-review PDFs. Older versions of Acrobat Pro allowed me to customize the ending of the file name before it was saved as a shared review PDF. For example, when we send the initial review PDF, we append "_Review"; when we send a mark-up PDF (to capture changes before the next revision), we append "_Mark-Up". However, the XI Pro version does not (it automatically appends "_review" and doesn't give an option to change it).
    Is there something I need to configure in my settings to allow file name changes for shared-review PDFs?

    So why did you said that in your first posting? My glass sphere is out for cleaning...
    Instead of type c use strings and add spaces until they have the appropriate length.
    loop at outtab assigning <pout>.
      while strlen( <pout>-val ) < 135.
        concatenate <pout>-val `` into <pout>-val.
      endwhile.
    endloop.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Outlook does not connect to Exchange 2013 after name change due to marriage

    When launching Outlook and clicking through the setup wizard to create a new profile, Outlook auto-discovers the correct email alias. When establishing a connection it successfully checks network connectivity and successfully searches the email settings.
    When it attempts to logon to the mail server the error comes up.
    "The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."
    Clicking "Check Name" gives the error:
    "The name cannot be resolved. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."
    The same result occurs with a manual setup.
    We are running Exchange Server 2013. User workstations are running Outlook 2013 on Windows 7 Pro. All updates have been applied as of March 31, 2015.
    All name changes have been made in AD and Exchange. Old aliases and new aliases are set in Exchange. Offline Address books are updated daily. The local profile and registry settings have been updated on the workstation and the user is successfully logging
    into the profile. The issue is only with Outlook 2013. User can access mail through OWA and ActiveSync on their mobile device.
    Logging the user into another workstation and running the wizard returns the same results, which rules out the possible problem being with the workstation.

    Hi,
    According to your description, I understand that failed auto-configure Outlook with error “The name cannot be resolved. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable…”, however OWA works fine.
    If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
    Are all account or any special user experience this question?
    If OWA works fine, it indicate that the mailbox database is mounted, and mailbox works well.
    I notice that you have changed the account name before issue arise, because external access, the client locates the Autodiscover service on the Internet by using the primary SMTP domain address from the user's email address.
    More details about Autodiscover service, for your reference:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124251.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
    Please try below command to force update address list, GAL, OAB, then test again:
    Get-AddressList | update-AddressList
    Get-GlobalAddressList | update-GlobalAdressList
    Get-OfflineAddressBook | Update-OfflineAddressBook
    If the issue persists, please wait for some time to complete configuration.

  • File Name Changes, Sorting Problem

    Hi,
    iTunes 10.5.1
    MacBook Pro Snow Leopard
    I am attempting to add a series of lectures to iTunes. These number about 100 and are sequential over 3 volumes. I obtained them in simple forlders labeled vol1, vol2 and vol3 and each track is named with a prefix such as "V1 Ch03 Relation of Physics to other Sciences.mp3". Oddly about half actually retain the full name and sort out properly but the rest do not. For instance the example in question becomes " Relation of Physics to other Sciences.mp3" and not sorting tricks can get them in order.
    Before I starting fooling with the names is there somethign else I can do? I have turned off "automatically check for track names" option on iTunes but the same result. Are the spaces causing problems? I don't want to change the names as I would like to share these and others won't figure out the sequence.
    There doesn't seem to be an option for date created sorting which may solve the issue. Also iTunes seems to be reading some meta data as the "album name" changes. It seems the lectures were originally released in a different series and recently compiled in the order created, the latter being preferrable.
    Any help appreciated!
    Happy Holidays!
