  • Change markup author name (AutoVue DD)

    Hello,
    I'm trying to change the author's name when creating markups using AutoVue Desktop Deployment (this is a must). I've implemented custom functionalities on events (such as ONOPENFILE) using the code examples provided in the docs. At this time, if I create a markup, AutoVue automatically set author's name as my Windows logged in username (I suppose). Is there any way I can change this behavior, so that I can set the author's name programatically? Or setting it on a file or something?
    Thanks in advance.

    The username that appears on your markup is the windows user or if connected to a DMS (CS use case) the DMS login name
    Modifying it, is not supported

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 ....

  • Can I use the Registry to change the Login Name used in Note Tool?

    If adding notes in browser-based review, you cannot edit the Author name used in the note tool. Its uses the fixed Windows login name shown in Edit > Preferences > Identity.
    If you turn off the "Always use Log-in name for Author name" setting, the Author can be changed when adding notes in Acrobat itself, but the Author is fixed to the Windows login name in browser-based review.
    Therefore, I was wondering if anyone knows if this can be changed in the Registry? I've found the login field name here (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\Annots\cAnnots\cAnnot\tauthor) but it unfortunately does not update the Author field.

    Good afternoon!
    You can replicate this in Acrobat 8 as follows:
    - In Acrobat / Edit Preferences / Commenting, turn off "Always use Log-in Name for Author Name"
    - Open a PDF in Acrobat > Add a Note > Right-click Properties > General tab > Rename the Author to "TESTING" > Click "Make Properties Default" > Click OK
    - Set up a Network Folder Online Comments Repository as follows: In Acrobat / Edit Preferences / Reviewing, set Server Type to "Network Folder" and browse for a folder to save comments to.
    - Open Registry and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\8.0\Annots\cAnnots\cAnnot\tauthor
    - tauthor should be showing "TESTING" that we entered earlier
    - Open a browser window and drag a PDF into it
    - Add a Note, the Author name is fixed to be the Windows Login name.

  • Changing the display name of project file folders for TOC

    I'm interested in changing the display names of the project file folders for my TOC. For example, I want to name the folder "01-intro" so that it is short and lowercase. But I'd like the TOC to say "Introduction to the System." I know I can manually rename the folder in the TOC either through its properties or by right-clicking => Rename, but I auto-create the TOC occasionally and I don't want to have to rename every folder every single time.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to set a persistent property for the folder so that its display name in the TOC is different? I am using RoboHelp 9. I saw an option called "Detail" in the properties of the WebHelp layout in RoboHelp 8 that seems like it may have done that, but I no longer see this property in RoboHelp 9.
    Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    I think the lack of response confirms that if you are going to use Auto Create, you have to accept the way it is.

  • Track Changes modifies author/color when document is saved

    I received a document that had been edited by another user.  When I make additional edits, they show up as a different color and under my author name, but when I save the document, they change to the first author's color and author name.  I've
    tried saving the .docx document to a .doc, but it didn't help.  I'm running 2007.

    Thanks Stefan. How is a normal mortal supposed to figure this out?
    I was quite frustrated by losing the colors of my changes (which were numerous) as I was reviewing a contract. Suddenly my comments and the other reviewer's comments were indistinguishable. I spent a lot of time trying to work around this (assuming it
    was a Mac Word bug) and then searching to find this thread. Still have to go back and now re-mark my changes to get them to appear in a different color.
    In Word 2010, the “Remove personal information...” option will get activated by Word if a user removes personal information via File tab | Options | Info | Check for Issues | Inspect Document. This is poorly documented in Help, though.
    What you can do is post to Office feedback (http://mymfe.microsoft.com/Office/feedback.aspx?formID=375) and suggest improvement for future releases.
