How to change pdf file properties?

Hi all,
Preview works great at generating PDFs from Word files, but the metadata fields (e.g., author, title, etc.) don't come over accurately. In Preview, when I click "Get Info," the metadata fields have different values than the original Word document had.
Anyone know how I can edit the info in the pdf file? Even if I open the properties window through the Finder instead of Preview, I can still only view them, not edit them.
Thanks

It isn't actually Preview's fault - at least, I doubt it. I expect you would see the same in any viewer. It could be Word's fault or it could be Apple's underlying PDF creation software. Apple's distiller respects this data when created in other ways, though.
I didn't suggest the text editing option because it is a little hair-raising editing binary files in that way and I assumed you probably wanted a slightly more user-friendly option. I can see it working if your need is infrequent, though - especially since if anything does go wrong, you can always recreate the PDF from the Word source.
Good luck with it, anyway.

How i change pdf file to excel format

how i chang pdf to excell

The forum you've posted to is for questions about the Formscentral product. Conversion of PDF to Excel is not a feature of this product. Adobe does offer products that convert file format types so I would suggest you investigate our other Acrobat.com offerings or a desktop version of Acrobat itself.

How to change pdf tp jpg to email?

how to change pdf file created in pages to a jpg file

Is it more than one page? If not, open it in Preview and Save As a jpg file. It can only do one page at a time (the current page showing in Preview) so you would have to do one page at a time doing Save As to multiple jpg's.
At the more powerful end of the spectrum of possible tools there's ImageMagic.

How to create pdf files with text field data

how to create pdf files with text field data

That looks like it should work, but it doesn't.
I opened the PDF I had created from Word in Acrobat (X Pro). Went to File > Properties. Selected "Change Settings". I then enabled "Restrict editing...", set a password, set "Printing Allowed" to "none", "Changes Allowed" to "none", and ensured that "Enable copying of text..." was disabled.
I saved the PDF file, closed Acrobat, opened the PDF in Reader, and I was still able to select text and graphical objects.
I reopened the PDF in Acrobat, and the document summart still shows everything as allowed. When I click on "show details" (from File > Properties) it shows the correct settings.
Any ideas?

How to add PDF files into a slides? (Flash 8)

I am new to flash and I am using Macromedia Flash 8. My task is simple enough: I need create a Presentation with Screens from PDF files: I have 10-12 PDF files which I want convert into flash presentation.
I have read this tutorial:
http://w3.id.tue.nl/fileadmin/id/objects/E-Atelier/Phidgets/Software/Flash/fl8_tutorials.p df
Chapter 11: Basic Tasks: Create a Presentation with Screens.
I'm having trouble how to add PDF files into a slides: I want insert a whole pdf file as separate slide, without splitting pdf file into separate elements: pictures, text, etc. I tried import pdf file into Flash, wheen import there is shown prompt how program should process this pdf file(add in stage, library, as keyframes, etc) , not clear which option is correct for my task. What I got is pdf file splitted into multiple images, text, - which is not what I want. I want keep PDF files without changes, preserve original design and formatting, just convert this pdf into flash, so presentation will consist of PDFs organized in correct order, then add navigation buttons and some effects. How to solve this task?

Just to avoid potential confusion... PDF is an Adobe format, but Flash 8 is/was not. Flash 8 came out before Adobe bought Macromedia. Even today, I don't believe anything has been done to accomodate direct integration of PDF content in Flash.

At the moment, you can't. A favourite complaint. Hopefully, the situation will change in the near future, but only Apple knows when or if.

How to save pdf file in database

Dear All,
my application is forms 6i and database is 8i,requirement is that how to save pdf file in database and users can view through forms

I'll apologize up front for the length of this post. I have a few database procedures I created that write a file to a BLOB column in a table as well as retrieve the BLOB from the column after it stored there. I have successfully stored many different types of binary file to the database using these procedures - including PDF files. I have not used these procedures in a Form so I can confirm that they will work, but theoretically they should work. I'm including the code for each procedure in this posting - hence the apology for the long post! :-)
Also, since these procedures reside on the database you will need to use Forms TEXT_IO built-in package to write your file to the server before you can use these procedures to store and retrieve the file from the database.
These procedures reads and writes a binary file to a table called "LOB_TABLE." You will need to modify the procedure to write to your table.

-- Name   : load_file_to_blob.sql
--        : This procedure uses an Oracle Directory called "IN_FILE_LOC". If you

--           a different Directory name, make sure you modify line 21 to reflect the

How to display Pdf file in iPad site

Hi
How to display Pdf file in web page which can able to view in iPad safari?

You can't really.
You need to use DHTML in the swf-wrapper HTML file, usually a
division wrapped iFrame, and load the PDF into the iFrame as an
overlay to the Flash.
