RichZep Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 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.

Old Bruce Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 In addition to Walt's advice save the Publisher file after changing the Author and before exporting the PDF.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 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.
