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.

  • What would be the best Adobe Product option for me if I only need it to be able to convert PDF documents to Excel Format?

    Hello, I'm hoping to pick everyone's brain about which Adobe Acrobat Product / License I would need if the only Function I require is the ability to convert PDF documents to Excel format. This would not include Scanned documents.

    Only you can decide what is a "best fit".
    PDF content export to Excel can be performed by Acrobat XI or either of Adobe's online subscription services "ExportPDF" or "PDF Pack".
    Be well...

  • Uable to open PDF document in proper format on blackberry browser

    We are trying to open a document hosted in MOSS document library using blackberry browser. The document type can word, excel, power point, pdf. But when we are trying to open PDF document using blackberry browser the document is displayed as long string of text message rather than PDF document and strips all the formatting.
    But if we email the same document and try opening that in blackberry then it works fine. Please share your thoughts, how we can properly render these documents on blackberry browser. Because this is a show stopper for our solution approach in which user can open any document on his blackberry.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Pdf document setup for print issues

    Hey all,
    I just happened to have a friend who is getting married asking me to make their invitations. I am not at all familiar with the print process (I'm a noob, just getting started), but managed myself to go with a print house that offers me guidelines about how to prepare my final artwork for them to print ( outline texts, line work no thinner than .5pt, Coated fogra 39, PDF/x-1a, no flattened artwork, cmyk values... I think I'm not forgetting anything).
    I followed all the instructions and saved my PDF, but when I open it to previz, I get a horrendous result :O !
    All the artwork seems to "break" (you know, sawed edges), but what's more worrying, is that there are kind of very thin gaps, transparent ones, that appear, as if I had the document sliced. I've opened the pdf in Photoshop, and added a red layer background to save a copy and insert it here, see if anyone can help me out on this one.
    I would greatly appreciate your feedback,
    Thanks and enjoy the weekend, those of you who can!
    So any red slice that appears on my attached converted PDF document, is in fact transparent.
    Ok uploader image tells me that "this type of image is forbidden"... Go figure!
    anyways, if anyone is familiar with this issue and can help me out, please, you will save the date (and my life haha)

    @silkrooster Image size is as requested for print by the print house: 1795 x 1287 pixels (300dpi), it will be printed on a A6 (european standard) and size (with bleed and all):
    152mm x 109mm
    5.98” x 4.29”
    (300 dpi)
    @Ton Frederiks
    I do have all the original artwork in Illustrator, just wanted to check the resulting PDF Export in other apps... You know, curiosity killed the cat hahah... You explanation makes very much sense, although I'm a newbie, but I thought it might be something of that nature... I do hope anyway, that I could get a printed sample card before ordering the whole bunch... I would not like at all to ruin my friends wedding...
    I have so much admiration for you all print artists and illustrators! I love that universe, but also am aware of the complexity and extended knowledge one must have... But hey, you gotta start somewhere!
    Thanks a bunch, I'll have to wait on Monday to see what the Print House tells me, and hope not to have to bother you all anymore with this!
    Have a great one!

  • Archived PDF Documents in UNIX Format

    Hi there!
    I searched the forums, but i did not find sth. helpfull to my issue.
    Maybe someone can help me here.
    I want to convert a abap list spooljob to pdf, save it on the application server and write it into our archive.
    This is no Problem by using "CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF" then "OPEN DATASET ...." and "ARCHIVE_CREATE_FILE".
    But if I retrieve the file from the archive its named like "name.1" So our application (Ceyoniq Viewer) is not able to open it since i change the name into "name.pdf"
    I think that the converted spooljob is saved on the application server as a UNIX file and then stored into the archive. So our viewer-application cannot identify it as a pdf File until i change the ending into".pdf"
    How can i convert files on the application server from UNIX into DOS Format?
    Or maybe somone hes another idea how to solve my problem.
    We are using a 4.6C System.
    Thanks and best regards
    Gerald

    Hi

  • Converting a PDF file to Word format issue

    I am using Adobe Reader XI 11.0.09 with the paid side bar to convert the pdf file to an editable Word 2007 format. The problem is that the formatting after conversion is really bad and getting worse, example of the most recient: "I n  a cont ingent circumstance, an effect  results  from  clearly definable causes, t hough t he effect could be  different, given an entirel y  possible and  different interrelation of  causes. In   short, a  contingent  event   or thi ng is a nonnecessa ry event or thi ng tha t either might  not  exist or could  be other than it is."
    The conversion in the past was never this bad and I was hoping it was some setting but I have not found a way to tweak the settings in the converter. I have converted many pdf files and had no problems with the outcome of the conversion until recently.
    Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

  • Formatting issues with a cut and pasted PDF document

    Hi,
    I am working with a lot of scanned PDF text and online PDF documents. When i paste them into pages 09, I am getting that little Paragraph symbol after each line of text. I think it is basically a line break. This causes problems for me and I wish that there was a fast way of deleting all of thise little breaks at one time somehow instead of manually deleting them, line by line, like i've been doing. PLEASE someone, if you can help with this, you will save me untold hours of tedious labor.
    thanks!
