Document Name and Title Bar When Exporting to PDF

[CreativeContentAU]

When I export an InDesign document to an interactive PDF, in the title bar (and on the TAB of the reader when it is used to view) I get some text that I have no idea where it came from. Well not quite, it is the caption from a document I created YEARS ago.

I have searched all the possible Pref and Setup boxes for the PDF exporter, but damned if I can find it. If anyone is interested, the doc is at http://bit.ly/37D8nsL and the text in question is "Map of King Island" in the title bar when viewd in a browser.

Its driving me nuts so any assistance greatly appreciated!

When I downloaded and viewed your PDF file in Acrobat DC (current version), it didn't show Map of King Island in the title bar, but it might if you were using a different PDF reader (which are you using?)

But when I chose File > Properties in Acrobat, it showed this metadata in the PDF. The Document Title in the document is Map of King Island (screen capture below):

Most likely, you'll see this if you open the InDesign file and choose File > File Info in the Document Title field at the top.

Thank you! That was the one place I didn't look! Cheers Steve 🙂
