In pdf, title in document properties showing "Untitled"

Hi,
I generated a pdf file using Adobe FrameMaker 11. After the pdf is generated, the title field in the Document Properties window (File > Properties) displays as "Untitled" instead of the original file name. How do i retain the same title name as the file name?
Please help.

Hi,
To show the the title or the file name, you need to tell Acrobat what you want to show:
So:
In Acrobat, click File > Properties.
In the Document Properties window, select the Initial View tab.
Click on the Show list box, and select Document Title.
Click OK to close the Document Properties window.
Save the file.
Note: you can review/set the file title in the Description tab
Let us know if this helped you.

The user "Admin" is stuck in the document properties of all excel and power point files

Does anyone know how I can clear this out, so the document properties show the actual author of the document? via script or regedit the problem exists on 2000 computers.

Hi,
Sounds like the user settings of the Office installation is set to Admin. Has the installation been done by some script?
You can check if this is the case by looking at the File - Options and have a look of what the username is set to. I think it would be relatively easy to ask the user to enter their initials.

Why isn't my SharePoint online document library showing anything in the Title column for PDFs I upload?

I've got a document library on my SharePoint Online site. I've enabled the Title column in the library view. When I upload Word documents, the title I entered into the document properties list (Word 2010, File > Info > Properties list > Title) appears
in the Title column of my library in SharePoint. But when I upload the published PDF version (created from the same Word file using Word 2010 by File > Save As) to the library, there's nothing in the Title column. Why? Is SharePoint failing to read the
metadata of the PDF file? Is Word 2010 failing to copy the metadata into the PDF file when it's created from the Word file?
What's going wrong and how do I fix it?
When answering, please keep in mind that I'm a SharePoint novice.

Bruce Officer

I think I've ruled out the possibility that Word isn't saving the Title property with the PDF when I convert to PDF using Word 2010's built-in Save As PDF command. I found a utility called Evermap AutoMetadata which shows all the metadata saved in a PDF
file and the Title field is indeed present in the PDF, with the correct value. Windows File Explorer won't show that property as present, but AutoMetadata does. It now looks like SharePoint isn't reading that field for some reason. Does anyone know why, and
what I should do about it?

PDF Document Properties restrictions

I'm trying to open a pdf on an iPad with Adobe Reader running IOS 6.1
The document opens, but has a watermark (copyright notification from document creator) all over the document's pages. This does not happen on the Mac or PC version of Adobe Reader.
Yes, the document properties are set to open only in Adobe Reader, not other PDF viewing programs. Why does the watermark appear on the iPad version?
Thanks!

It's not really a document property or security restriction as they are normally thought of. A document can include JavaScript that executes when the document is opened to show or hide layers or fields. It can also include Show/Hide Layer or Show/Hide Field actions, but these would only work if the viewer supports such actions. The script can check to see what viewer is being used, but if the viewer doesn't support JavaScript or just has limited support (like Reader for iOS), then the script can't execute as intended and the document can be left in a state that's unusable. So yes, such a thing won't work with Reader for iOS until it supports this type of control.

Why can't I fill in a PDF document? Document properties say it is allowed

I have just upgraded to Adobe Reader 9.5.1. Using MiniMac OS 10.4.11, Firefox 3.6.28. I cannot fill in a PDF Document even though the Document Properties indicate it is allowed.

In a nutshell, just because security properties say that filling of form fields is allowed, that does not mean that the creator of the file has actually added those fields.
Normally if the form is fillable, you would get a notification bar at the top of the Reader window. It is possible you have that option turned off so select the hand tool and mouse over a field that you think should be fillable. If the hand turns into an i-beam, click in the filed and start typing. If it doesn't, it's not fillable.

PDF Document Properties - Author format issues

As I am creating PDFs to load onto the web I am adding all the document properties that are needed to properly identify each PDF.
However I run into the same problem over and over, when I enter in the author, any commas I use to separate names are then switched to semi-colons. I'm wondering if there is a way to turn this feature off or if I need to just start inserting names in proper order rather than Last Name, First Name.
For example:
Smith, John D.; Anderson, Rachel R.; and Hendersen, Martha
-becomes-
Smith; John D.; Anderson; Rachel R.; and Hendersen; Martha
Do I need to start listing them like this:
John D. Smith; Rachel R. Anderson; and Martha Hendersen
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you save PDF Document Properties in InDesign PDF Presets?

It's great to be able to save my PDF settings as an export preset in InDesign, but inevitably, I still have to open my PDF in Acrobat and adjust the initial view in document properties. Does anyone know if it's possible to include any of these settings in the InDesign export settings, to save time? Thanks!

Hey there,
No, I don't believe it's possible to set the "Initial View" or other Acrobat-specific preferences through InDesign.

When inserting a .pdf of a document with a standard white paper color the test and images show up, but the white background is transparent. How do you also make the white paper color show up?

When inserting a .pdf of a document into a Keynote template with a standard white paper color the text and images show up, but the white background is transparent. How do you also make the white paper color show up?

Use the color fill option - select the inserted .pdf and assign a fill color of white to it using the Color Fill Menu on the Toolbar or the Color Picker Palette.
Good Luck.

Document Properties - Extract Application that Created the Pdf

Hello,
I need to extract the original application that a pdf was created from in javascript. eg in the document properties the application is shown as follows:
Application: AutoCAD 2010
The console script I have is as follows:
console.println('Application: '
+ this.info.Application +' ');
When the script is run it does not extract the application which the pdf was created from.
Can anyone please advise how the script can be modified to extract the application from the document properties?
Any assistance will be most appreciated.
Thank you.

Thank you very much for your help, most appreciated .
I can now extract the application which created the pdf as follows:
console.println('Application that create pdf: '

My pdf title is different in different browsers how to make it same ?

The pdf file which is on my site when opened in different browsers shows different title. how to make it same in all browsers ? Like in mozilla it shows file name like abc.pdf as title but in chrome it shows URL of the page as title and in IE it shows the domain of the page as title ?

Are you using the same viewer in all 3 browsers?
Firefox's built-in PDF viewer will extract one of the PDF document properties if available and show that along with the file name. At least that's what was happening in this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/965816 PDF preview creates bad title for page].
You can try switching between the built-in viewer and the Adobe Acrobat viewer as described in this article to see whether that makes a difference: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
But, as for how to make different viewers consistent, hmm..., I'm not sure you can.

How to upload a document with values related to document properties in to document set at same time using Javascript object model

Hi,
Problem Description: Need to upload a document with values related to document properties using custom form in to document set using JavaScript Object Model.

The following code shows how to use REST/Ajax to upload a document to a document set.
function uploadToDocumentSet(filename, content) {
appweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPAppWebUrl'));
hostweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPHostUrl'));
var restSource = appweburl +
"/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/restdocuments/testds')/files/add(url='" + filename + "',overwrite=true)?@target='" + hostweburl + "'";
var dfd = $.Deferred();
$.ajax(
'url': restSource,
'method': 'POST',
'data': content,
processData: false,
timeout:1000000,
'headers': {
'accept': 'application/json;odata=verbose',
'X-RequestDigest': $('#__REQUESTDIGEST').val(),
"content-length": content.byteLength
'success': function (data) {
var d = data;
dfd.resolve(d);
'error': function (err,textStatus,errorThrown) {
dfd.reject(err);
return dfd;
Then when this code returns you can use the following to update the metadata of the new document.
function updateMetadataNoVersion(fileUrl) {
appweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPAppWebUrl'));
hostweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPHostUrl'));
var restSource = appweburl +
"/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/restdocuments/testds')/files/getbyurl(url='" + fileUrl + "')/listitemallfields/validateupdatelistitem?@target='" + hostweburl + "'";
var dfd = $.Deferred();
$.ajax(
'url': restSource,
'method': 'POST',
'data': JSON.stringify({
'formValues': [
'__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.ListItemFormUpdateValue' },
'FieldName': 'Title',
'FieldValue': 'My Title2'
'bNewDocumentUpdate': true,
'checkInComment': ''
'headers': {
'accept': 'application/json;odata=verbose',
'content-type': 'application/json;odata=verbose',
'X-RequestDigest': $('#__REQUESTDIGEST').val()
'success': function (data) {
var d = data;
dfd.resolve(d);
'error': function (err) {
dfd.reject(err);
return dfd;
