Create and view document properties

View document properties
When you view a PDF, you can get information about it, such as the title, the fonts used, and security settings. Some of this information is set by the person who created the document, and some is generated automatically.

You can change any information that can be set by the document creator, unless the file has been saved with security settings that prevent changes.

  1. Choose File > Properties.
  2. Click a tab in the Document Properties dialog box.
Create document properties
You can add custom document properties that store specific types of metadata, such as the version number or company name, in a PDF. Properties you create appear in the Document Properties dialog box. Properties you create must have unique names that do not appear on the other tabs in the Document Properties dialog box.
  1. Choose File > Properties, and then select Custom.
  2. To add a property, type the name and value, and then click Add.
  3. To change the properties, do any of the following, and then click OK:
    • To edit a property, select it, change the Value, and then click Change.

    • To delete a property, select it and click Delete.

    To change the name of a custom property, delete the property and create a new custom property with the name you want.
