Setting a custom PDF title bar and bookmark title from a generic map

Question

Using FrameMaker 16.0.2 with DITA 1.3

We have maps that are filtered for various products. The product-specific cover page content is stored in the prodname element of the ditamap. The title element is a generic "Operator's Guide" and we want the product-specific information to appear as the title page bookmark in the PDF, we also want the product-specific information to appear in the PDF title bar.

For example, the operator's guide map is used for a series of products. The map metadata includes a series of prodinfo elements to record the system name. The map title is Operator's Guide. On our cover page, the prodname element is used for the main title. The map title (Operator's Guide) is used as a secondary title on the cover. See the attached image.

Currently, we are manually altering the PDF title in the rendered document as they all appear as Operator's Guide. We want them to display the full title and prodname element contents.

Is there any way, for example, to use XMP files during the rendering from DITA to PDF?

Thanks,

Wanda

Hi Wanda, Did you get a solution for this? ThanksSurendraWith the 16.0.4 release, the title bar now displays the information I want.

I have a text frame with such info on my title pages. The text is white and 2 pt, so it's unlikely that someone inadvertently selects this text. The paragraph format is in the bookmark paragraphs list.

Although this is unstructured FrameMaker, I expect that this works also in structured FrameMaker.
