Generate Copyright from FM File Info to Acrobat

Author, Title, Subject, and Keywords from FrameMaker's File Info are automatically generated into the Acrobat Properties when you create a PDF. We would like to generate the Copyright information as well to avoid having to enter it manually into Additional Metadata each time. Does anyone know a setting or a hack that will accomplish this?

Thanks for any help!

    You can do it with a PostScript text frame:

    1. Create a file, possibly named PDFMark.fm, and place it as the first

    file in your book. Alternately, you can draw a text frame in the margin

    on the first page of your book.

    2. Place the following text in the text frame:

    /pdfmark where {userdict /pdfmark /cleartomark load put} ifelse

    /Copyright ((C) 2015 Author Name. All rights reserved.)

    /DOCINFO pdfmark

    3. Now Ctrl+click to select the text frame and then right-click. Choose

    Object Properties.

    4. In the Object Properties dialog, select the PostScript Code checkbox.

    Click Set. This will load the copyright info into the PDF when you

    create it.

    re: We would like to generate the Copyright information ...

    I only have FM7 on hand to test, but I can set that in the Copyright pane of File > File Info, and it is definitely passed into the PDF via the:
    Savs-as-PDF (with the Distiller printer model configured), and
    Print-to-Ps and Distill path.
    It appears in the PDF under Acrobat Reader DC via File > Properties /Custom\

    It does not appear to appear in Print-to-PDF.
