For example, if the source is MS-Word, the Author will be Name from the User Information tab. If you don't care what the other summary info says, you can set just the Author by putting: [ /Author (Yossi) /DOCINFO pdfmark in prolog.ps (and remember to instruct Distiller to use prolog and epilog files). > If there's a setting for this in the Windows registry, I couldn't find > it, and it looks like Distiller just takes the name of the host computer > as the author. > > I am using Acrobat 5.05 on a Win 2k system. > > Thanks, > > YossiD > > To change your subscription: > http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/lists-pdf.html > -- Matthew Fitzgerald Byte Ryte bv Oudegracht 219 NL 3511 NH Tel: +31 (0)30 2380023 Fax: +31 (0)30 2380076 http://www.byteryte.nl To change your subscription: http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/lists-pdf.html
