Viewing document properties
When you view a PDF document, you can get information about it, such as the title, the
fonts used, and security settings. Some of this information is set by the person who created
the document, and some is generated by Acrobat. You can change any information that
can be set by the document creator, unless the file has been saved with security settings
that prevent changes.
To get information about the current document:
1. Choose File > Document Properties, or choose Document Properties from the document
pane menu.
2. Click a tab in the Document Properties dialog box:
Description
The Description tab shows basic information about the document. The title, author,
subject, and keywords may have been set by the person who created the document in the
source application, such as Microsoft Word or Adobe InDesign, or by the person who
created the PDF document. You can add to or edit this information if the security options
allow such changes. You can search for these description items in Acrobat to find
particular documents. The Keywords section can be particularly useful for narrowing
searches.
Note that many search engines use the title to describe the document in their search results
list. If a PDF file does not have a title, the file name appears in the results list instead. A
file's title is not necessarily the same as its file name.
The Advanced group box shows which PDF version the document is created in, the page
size, number of pages, and whether the document is tagged. This information is generated
automatically and cannot be modified.
Security
The Security tab describes what activities, if any, are not allowed. (See
security.)
Fonts
The Fonts tab lists the fonts and the font types used in the original document, and the
fonts, font types, and encoding used to display the original fonts.
If substitute fonts are used and you aren't satisfied with their appearance, you may want to
install the original fonts on your system or ask the document creator to re-create the
document with the original fonts embedded in it. (See
Initial View
The Initial View tab describes how the PDF document appears when it's opened. This
includes the initial window size, the opening page number and magnification level, and
whether bookmarks, thumbnails, the toolbar, and the menu bar are displayed. You can
change any of these settings to control how the document appears the next time it is
opened. (See
Custom
The Custom tab lets you add document properties to your document. (See
document properties.)
Advanced
The Advanced tab shows PDF settings and reading options.
Base URL displays the base Uniform Resource Locator (URL) set for web links in the
document. Specifying a base URL makes it easy for you to manage web links to other
websites. If the URL to the other site changes, you can simply edit the base URL and not
have to edit each individual web link that refers to that site. The base URL is not used if a
link contains a complete URL address.
Search Index associates a catalog index file (PDX) with the PDF file. When the PDF file
is searched with the Search PDF window, all of the PDF files that are indexed by the
specified PDX file are also searched. (See
documents.)
The Trapped menu indicates whether trapping is applied to the file. Prepress software uses
this information to determine whether to apply trapping at print time.
Print Scaling determines whether the Page Scaling value in the Print dialog box is set to
None or the last value that was used.
Binding affects how the pages are arranged side by side when you view them using the
Continuous - Facing page layout. (See
matching the reading direction (left to right or right to left) of text in the document. Right
Edge binding is useful for viewing Arabic or Hebrew text or vertical Japanese text. You
can change this setting.
Language specifies the language for the screen reader. You can change this setting. (See
