PDF documents which contain an ampersand (&) in the value of the Author key in the Info Directory (as, for instance, might occur in a document authored by co-authors or a partnership of attorneys) will have the Author displayed incorrectly in Adobe Reader Version 6, at least in the Windoze version(s) of it. The ampersand in the Author string will be displayed as an underscore in the pop-up that appears when a user selects File; Document Properties; Description. I believe this is new as of version 6; the same document's information is displayed correctly in versions 5, 4 and 3 of the Acrobat Reader. Does anybody know if this is a "feature" rather than a bug? Does anybody know a code-around which will cause an ampersand to show properly in ALL versions of Adobe Acrobat? Does anybody know if management at Adobe released this before Inspector 12 said they say Haines? Thanks for the comments.
