Hy! Why does InDesign not include the Name of the file in the PDF settings any more? Even if I set it up in the PDF settings (see Picture attached).  I need it to find my files later

In order to have a Document Title which is different than the file name you must first define that title through File>File Info. Enter the Document Title there as shown in the screen shot below. Then when you export to PDF choose Document Title in the Advanced section of the Export Adobe PDF dialog under the Accessibility Options Display Title pull-down menu. Then when you look at the properties dialog in Acrobat you will see both the File Name and Document Title in the Description section.

Wow thank you, that was quick 🙂

Ok, but until now i didn't have to set a name - it did al by itself. That's what's confusing me at the moment.
Do you know if there is a setting that does take the name of the document automatically or something?
