Acrobat Reader: Advanced Search: untitled

New Here ,
Oct 14, 2025 Oct 14, 2025

The advanced search result shows for some files the name 'untitled'.  I could identify that this information is found in the Title filed of file description/metadata. I could change the information in the file and started the advanced search again. In search result the file name is again 'untitled'. 

 

I assume that there is  a cache. Is this correct? How can I delete the cache? is there an automatic process that deletes the cache? How often?

Is there an other reason why  search resullt don't show the correct title?

You can't change the file's metadata with the free Reader. Are you sure that's what you're using?

I know. I changed the metadata with an other tool  (PDF24). The screenshot shows the actual information in the file.

Hmmm, that is strange. Maybe the search tool is using the XMP metadata tags, instead of the PDF ones.
