How do I get my name as author into a PDF please?

I am used to using PagePlus and adding my name into a .ppp document so that I am listed as the author in a PDF document produced from the .ppp file.

However, I am trying to be listed as the author in a PDF document produced from a .afpub file.

I have searched in Help and think that it might be something to do with Fields accessible from View > Studio but I have not yet found how to achieve the desired result.

Is the facility to add author information implemented in the beta version and if so, how do I get to it please?

The Fields panel is, according to the Help, to allow certain bits of text "to be automatically inserted into the document text" but it doesn't say anything about the exported PDF Description. I've had a bit of a look around and can't find any way of specifying what gets into the PDF Description rather than the text.
I may be wrong but I think this is a bug by omission as the user must certainly be able to specify things like Author, Subject, etc. Maybe the fields haven't yet been 'plumbed in' to the PDF export function.
