How to change document properties

Each PDF file you open in PDF-Suite has a few document properties that can be updated. You can access them with the following steps:

• Click on the FILE button.

In the Properties section you’ll find a few options.

Description:

In this category you can edit the metadata for your file. You’ll also be able to review some key information about your file.

You can add a Title, update the Author, create a Subject for your file and set any relevant Keywords. This will help you archive your file while making it easier to search for when you need it.

• Click into one of the fields.
• Type in the information.
• Click out of the field to save the changes you’ve made.

If you scroll down, you can see information like the Created Date and when the file was last Modified. A very important piece of information is the PDF Producer, and this is the application which created the PDF you are working with.



Security:

Under Security you’ll find quick links to restrict access to your file. You’ll also see the current security settings of your file.

• Choose Set Password if you want to add one to your document. No one will be able to open your file without the password. 
• Pick Security Settings if you want to restrict how users can interact with your PDF. 

Fonts:

You can’t make any changes here. However, you can view a list of any fonts used in your document. This will help you find any fonts you may need to match what’s being used in the file. PDF-Suite will do it’s best to pick a font that is similar to any being used if that font is not available on your computer.

• Click the Fonts option.

 

Initial Views:

In the Initial Views section, you can set some view options that will kick in when the file is opened.

• Choose an option under Navigation tab if you want that panel to be open as you launch the document.

• Choose an option under Page Layout to set how you want to view this PDF.

Each of these settings will be for the specific PDF you are working with.
