Author name in pdf from Publisher export


Recommended Posts

I have made a book in Publisher for someone. I exported this as a pdf. When the pdf in in an iPhone it has my name, Richard Roberts, under the title (see attached screen shot) I am unable to work out where it gets my name from, I guess the programme, but am I able to change this to Nadia Rose, who wrote the book.

 View > Studio > Fields in your .afpub document, and you'll find the Author field.

In addition to Walt's advice save the Publisher file after changing the Author and before exporting the PDF.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 
Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

What has worked for me is to delete the author field when no file is open in APub. I think this is because the default is to use the name of the user account, so changing it to nothing (or something other than my user account name) when no doc is open overrides the default.
