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.

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!

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.

It is not in the version running on my computer.

But I have not updated, so maybe added in into a later version.

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.

I don't understand the question. Could you ask it in another way please?
