Document Properties
Shows basic information about the document. The title, author, subject, and keywords may have been
Description
set by the person who created the document in the source application, such as Word or InDesign, or by the person
who created the PDF. 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 does not
have a title, the filename appears in the results list instead. A file's title is not necessarily the same as its filename.
The Advanced area shows the PDF version, the page size, number of pages, whether the document is tagged, and if
it's enabled for Fast Web View. (The size of the first page is reported in PDFs or PDF packages that contain multiple
page sizes.) This information is generated automatically and cannot be modified.
Describes what changes and functionality are allowed within the PDF. If a password, certificate, or security
Security
policy has been applied to the PDF, the method is listed here.
Lists the fonts and the font types used in the original document, and the fonts, font types, and encoding used
Fonts
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.
Describes how the PDF appears when it's opened. This includes the initial window size, the opening
Initial View
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.
Lets you add document properties to your document.
Custom
Lists PDF settings, print dialog presets, and reading options for the document.
Advanced
In the PDF settings, you can set a base Uniform Resource Locator (URL) 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.
You can also associate a catalog index file (PDX) with the PDF. When the PDF is searched with the Search PDF
window, all of the PDFs that are indexed by the specified PDX file are also searched.
You can include prepress information, such as trapping, for the document. You can define print presets for a
document, which prepopulate the Print dialog box with document-specific values. You can also set reading options
that determine how the PDF is read by a screen reader or other assistive device.
Add a description to Document Properties
You can add keywords to the document properties of a PDF that other people might use in a search utility to locate
the PDF.
