Does anyone know how to set these properties in ExtendScript for InDesign?

"Document Title" as seen here:

"Display Title" as seen here:

I've been looking through the documentation for ages, and trying to root around in the debugger, but come up with nothing.

document.metadataPreferences.documentTitle for the first. 

app.pdfExportPreferences.pdfDisplayTitle for the second.

This site is your friend if you don't use it: https://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-latest/#PDFExportPreference.html

I've actually been using this one because I like the UI better:

http://yearbook.github.io/esdocs/#/

But it was missing the latter for some reason.

It also doesn't have robust search functionality like the other, and only goes up to CS 14.

Hi,

see into metadataPreferences of object Document.

There you find property documentTitle.

https://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-latest/#MetadataPreference.html

app.documents[0].metadataPreferences.properties =
{
	documentTitle : app.documents[0].name ,
	author : "Uwe Laubender"
};

Other properties as well like  description or copyrightNotice.

For the PDF export look into:
