Every three months I produce a magazine which is printed and also distributed as a PDF. When the last two issues (Nos 268 and 269) are viewed in a browser, the title displayed is 264.  Back on 11 December 2019, Walt Farrell said that the title of a PDF is taken from the Title Field in the Fields studio panel (View>Studio>Fields) and that Publisher will set the title to the file name and will not change it. What I think might have happened is that I have opened No 264 and then saved it as the later numbers in order to preserve certain content and formatting. (It doesn't explain why there wasn't a problem with Nos 265-267 but ... ) Walt said you can change the Title Field but I cant find View>Studio>Fields in V2.4.0 and searching on that as a question hasn't yielded an answer. I have corrected the PDF titles using the Kofax PDF software but it would be nice to get this set up properly if someone can help me find the Field.

The various different studios within the app can be toggled by going to the main Window dropdown menu.

The fields option is on the References flyout.

All of the Affinity apps can open PDF files and export to PDF format, so a Fields option would be equally useful in all three apps. Is there a particular reason why there is no References submenu on the Window menu in Designer and Photo? :/
