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 ....

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?

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.

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.

Acrobat 7-how to keep author name in Note Tool permanently blank?

One of my main uses for Acrobat is to review academic documents, which is meant to be done anonomously. When I use Tools>Commenting>NoteTool, my login name appears in the Note Tool box, even though I have deselected "Always use Log-in name for author name"
I know I can delete the author name in the properties box of any individual note, but is there any way to make a blank space the default author name?

You should make your sidebar1 and sidebar2 fixed positioned. Make your content DIV fluid.
This should help you: http://www.glish.com/css/7.asp

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.

There is no an easier solution?

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.

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.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Leopard problem changing number values in the tools

I know that Adobe has mentioned on their site that this is a known problem and that the fix is going to come from a Leopard update. I have not seen anything on this problem from the Mac side so I am wondering when a fix can likely be expected. The Adobe link is http://www.adobe.com/support/pdfs/PhotoshopCS3_LeopardIssue.pdf
Any clue?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
This is a user-to-user forum, so no one here works for Apple. None of us have any idea what they have running behind the scenes. I'm afraid you're just going to have to wait and see like the rest of us. It's against the Terms of Use of the Apple Discussions to speculate about unannounced or unreleased products, but the Macworld Expo starts in San Francisco in a little more than two weeks. In the past, Apple has released software updates at the same time as the expo to support new software and hardware. No one here can speculate if this will include the update you're looking for, however.

Cannot change login Name in Preferences

Login Name will not update. I need my edits to a document to come up with my name, not a former collegue.

Hi ElB7,
To change the author name of comments:
Open the Acrobat or Reader preferences and click the Commenting category.
Deselect Always Use Log-in Name for Author.
Create a comment.
Right-click the comment and choose Properties from the pop-up menu.
Change the Author name on the General tab to your name. Select Make Current Properties Default.
Click OK.
Please let us know if that did the trick!
Best,
Sara

Reset or Change Login Name

I would like to change my login name to something other than my computer's name. That name is not what I would like to appear as my author name for comments. I've tried reinstalling the program after changing my computer's name, hoping it would change the login name to the new computer name. That did not work. Why would a program restrict a user from changing the login name???? I'm very aggravated by this. Please, can someone help me reset or change my login name???

Sorry, what program, and what login name?
If you mean the Adobe.com login name, go to http://www.adobe.com/ and click on Sign-in. Next click on the pull-down on your user name and select My Information; you can change all your details there.

Changing Login Name in Acrobat Reader

Is there an easy way to change your login name (the name reader uses as an author name when commenting)?
It is a pretty easy process in Pro, but my Reader uses need to change their author name as well
any help?

Could you be alittle more specific. Because if I try to change the preference entry:
Preferences -> Identity -> Login Name
I will not change, it is locked down. What preference specifically are you changing?

How do I change the author's name for comments in Pages?

I am a long time Microsoft Word user and am currently testing out Pages for the first time.
Something that is extremely vital to me in my line of work is the ability to track changes and add comments to the documents.
I have found how to do this in Pages with ease, but when it initially asked me whether I wanted to allow Pages to access my comments I had the thought "why do you need to access that?" and denied it. I then clicked past the option to change the name by mistake.
Since then I have not been able to find any way to reverse what I have done, the best I can find is to change the colour that I am commenting with. I want my comments to have my name rather than "author".
If someone knows how to change this can you please let me know.
Thanks

Never mind, after spending ages seaching I finally found it.
For those that may be interested, it can be changed in the under Pages > Preferences
Thanks
