Question

Unable to EDIT Document Properties...I am Stuck!

I have a personal resume from someone that was built on a template.  I have noticed that the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC tab shows the text in the Document Properties Title data field....However, I cannot change/amend/edit this data field or any other. 

The question is How do I remedy this?  Do I have to buy a upgraded version of Adobe to get the greyed out data fields to be unlockable?  I do not want to have rebuild this entire resume for something that should be editable.

Beers on me to whoever can help!!

Thanx in Advance

Okay, shortly after I posted this, I figured the problem may not be with my Adobe Acrobat Reader but how I saved it as a PDF from Word....sure enough, the Properties of the Word File under the details tab was where the problem was being transmitted thru into PDF...I was able to delte/edit the info there and thus, problem solved!

    Just as an FYI: Reader is not capable of changing a document's properties, at all.
