1  Control the document title effectively, and display
it in the title bar
A PDF document title is essential because
it can be displayed in the title bar instead of the file name,
thus helping to identify the PDF file. The title is also displayed
in Acrobat's Search Results list and when PDFs are listed in
web searches.
In FrameMaker 7 or later, the document
title can be set through File > File Info, along with the
Author, Subject and Keyword fields (in FM6: PDF Setup, Document
Info tab). However, FrameMaker's DocInfo values are reset when
importing formats from other documents with the Document Properties
category turned on so your settings can easily be lost (except
in FM7.1; support for the CopyFileInfoOnImport= maker.ini
entry, controlling this behavior, was added to FM7.2 and later
versions).
With TimeSavers 5 or later, the title
can be automatically populated from the top bookmark.
Setting a title is not enough. By default,
Acrobat displays the file name in the title bar. You can set
the title to be displayed in the title bar through Document Properties,
Initial View (Window Options group), but this has to be carried
out in Acrobat for each PDF (and repeated when the PDF is recreated).
With TimeSavers, you can set a default initial view setting of
"Show document title in title bar" for all PDFs being
distilled (along with other default initial viewing settings).
Note:
In PDF Settings tab (TimeSavers 5), you can also specify default
values for Copyright Status, Notice text & Info URL (the
File Info dialog box in FrameMaker 7 or later has similar fields,
but they are not carried over to PDF). A default value for the
Author field can also be specified (overriding any book/document
values for this field).
Example
(PDF: 46K); zip file
(52K) includes source .fm file
TimeSavers settings used: Use top bookmark as document title,
Add spaces to title, Show document title in title bar
(PDF Settings tab); Collapse bookmarks to 2nd level
(Bmk Functions tab); Style bookmarks by level
(Bmk Style tab)
