[SOLVED] How to include Document Information from Fields into PDF?


Recommended Posts

Hi, quick question:

I am designing for packaging. During this, my client frequently gets samples to review.

In Publisher -> Fields I have entered all the document information, along with a note "NOT FOR PRODUCTION".

When I export to PDF, there is an option to "Include Document Information", but all it does is print the filename to the PDF.

Is there a way, to display my custom document information as well, or am I stuck with entering it manually as text?

I think the "Document Information" relates to the file information not the contents.

You could create a text frame and use Text > Insert > Fields to add your custom fields to that text frame

Then if you do this a lot just save that text frame as an asset and drag it into your new documents as required. It will automatically pick up the new fields

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

That works perfectly and gives me even more options.
Thank you very much!
