Change author name in my pdf files?

It wont allow me to change the author name in my pdf files. Why not. How can I change it? It wont allow me in 'my preferences' or anywhere else. Not even in the document properties box.

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.
Regards,
Anubha

  • How to change the name of a pdf file in iBooks on ipad

    I have a number of appliance and tool manuals  as pdf files uploaded to my iPad. In order to identify them easier I would like to change the names of the files. I changed them in iTunes on my computer but they do not change on the iPad2 when I sync. Is there a  way to do this?

    Greg,
    I had been working on this a while and found what worked.  Save the pdf to your desktop with the file name as you want it.  Open up itunes on half of your monitor.  Drag the file to the library section of itunes (music, videos, books, movies etc...).  When you drag to the library section, it will put it the book section of itunes.  Sync and you will see the file in ibooks on your ipad.  Give it shot.

  • How can I change the name of the XML file which is submitted by mail?

    Hello Everybody,
    If I submit my pdf file as XML
    I will get something like this:
    MyFile.PDF -> submit as XML -> MyFile_data.XML
    My problem is with the _data at the end of the file name -> this addition is coming from the windows logon language,
    I know that because if the windows logon is in spanish I get the addition _datos for example: MyFile_datos.XML
    Is there a way to change the name of the xml file for example : MyFile.XML
    Thank you all in advance,
    Eran

    Hello Uti,
    I found out it is something with the adobe reader installation.
    If it is in English the suffix is _data
    If it is in Spanish the suffix is _datos
    If it is in Hebrew the suffix is _נתונים
    So Now I think i will have to open OSS for this issue.
    Thank you so much for your reply - I thought i was the only one with this problem...
    Best Regards,

  • How do I change the name property of a file in a document library?

    I am trying to come up with an Event Receiver that will change the name property of an file when it is uploaded. For instance when a file is uploaded into a document Library, currently the Title is being generated (which is fine)...I want to be able to
    change the "Name" property from whatever it is, to match exactly what is in the "Title" property. Are there any sample codes/blogs out there that I can take a look at? Has anyone  had any experience doing this? It seems like something
    that should be straight forward, to change the "Name" property to match what is in the "Tilte" property.

    Hi,     
    You can try the code below which use the SPFile.MoveTo() function to change the name of the file.
    EventFiringEnabled = false;
    SPFile f = properties.ListItem.File;
    string spfileExt = new FileInfo(f.Name).Extension;
    f.MoveTo(properties.ListItem.ParentList.RootFolder.Url +
    "/" + properties.ListItem["Title"]+ "_new" + spfileExt);
    f.Update();
    EventFiringEnabled = true;

  • How do you change the name of a folder/file on an expansion drive

    How do you change the name of a folder/file on an expansion drive or external hard drive?

    The same way you change it on the internal drive; click on the name and wait a second or two for the field to drop into editing mode, then just type the new name. Or Get Info on the file/folder and change the name there.

    How di I change the names of the pdf's in my Nexus & downloads?

    Adobe Reader is a standalone application on Android and it doesn't have a browser plug-in. So you can't open a PDF directly in Adobe Reader without downloading it first.
