Exporting title of PDFs

[johnmc]

I just discovered that when I export a PDF from Designer, it creates a "title" of the page which is the file path to where I save it and this is embedded in the PDF. I can get rid of it by opening Acrobat and removing it, but that is cumbersome.

 

I don't want people seeing this information on publicly distributed PDFs.

 

I've attached a screen shot of the "Properties" panel in Acrobat which shows the title attached with the PDF when exported from Designer.

Thanks for this information. MBd posted a message in my thread showing that my bug report is related to this one, so I am bumping yours with a backlink to my thread too:

Thanks for your help with this change. We resolved the issue for 1.4.2 and made the improvement available in the last release.

could you please check that again as it´s mentioned here more recently https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/22961-export-embeds-private-data-in-file-why/?p=107906

 

I think it should not embed it even with embed metadata checked (as the last post in that topic mentions that´s also PS behavior)

 

thanks very much

Thank you MBd, I have commented on our issue on this

So, that linked issue is about PNG metadata and this resolved issue is about PDF filename and filepath, so I still think this issue is solved a while ago, as only the filename is now included.

Do you not agree MBd?

yeah correct, it´s not about PDF but I thought this was linked to the same or a similar trigger

 

sadly I can´t check it cause I don´t know how aitte discovered it in first place and I asked him to check again but it seems as if he´s not active anymore

https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/19065-affinity-photo-puts-sensitive-data-in-png-output/?p=88461

that was the source thread about the issue (in PNGs)

 

but if Dandiccf reports it again in July 2016, i guess it is not fixed https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/22961-export-embeds-private-data-in-file-why/?p=107906

Dave Harris response does not seem to be correct as I think the data should not be there even with embedded metadata and that´s also what PS seems to do (I also don´t have PS anymore so can´t check that either) so it´s what most people would expect I guess

 

hope that makes some sense to you as well  :rolleyes:

I've been away, but I'm pleased to say that for PDFs exported from Designer, the problem was fixed with the update.
