William Overington Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Could someone remind me how to set the author field when outputting a PDF document from Affinity Publisher please? I know it can be done, but I can't remember how, and I have not been able to find it today. William Quote Until December 2022, using a Lenovo laptop running Windows 10 in England.

Staff NathanC Posted June 15, 2022 Staff Share Posted June 15, 2022 Hi @William Overington, You can set the document author under View > Studio > Fields in the Document information section. You can double click the field to rename the author and this should then be reflected in the exported PDF's document properties.

William Overington Posted June 20, 2022 Author Share Posted June 20, 2022 I asked this question about Affinity Publisher, and the answer worked fine. Yet, just now, I tried to add my name as the author of a PDF document to export from Affinity Designer, but Affinity Designer does not have that facikity. How strange!

William Overington Posted June 20, 2022 Author Share Posted June 20, 2022 I just tried making a copy of my Affinity Designer file (in case my experiment went wrong, I would still have the original) and then edited it in Affinity Publisher via the File menu in Affinity Designer, added my name as author, and then exported as a PDF document. It seems to have worked alright, but whether that is because I think that I could have probalby produced the original in Affinity Publisher, (I had used shapes using the Pen Tool and text frames) or whether it would have worked had I used in Affinity Designer a tool not found in Affinity Publisher, (such as the Pencil Tool), I do not know.

William Overington Posted June 20, 2022 Author Share Posted June 20, 2022 It is not in the version running on my computer. But I have not updated, so maybe added in into a later version.

William Overington Posted June 20, 2022 Author Share Posted June 20, 2022 The result of my experiment is available from the following post. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/163212-art-and-a-poem-using-language-independent-glyphs/&do=findComment&comment=933597 That is, a PDF document, exported from Affinity Publisher, with my name in the author field of the PDF document, the artwork produced in Affinity Designer.
