Is there a way to change the properties that are added to PDF docs? For instance, when I go the Properties panel in Acrobat, I see:
Application: LaTeX with hyperref package
PDF Producer: PdfTeX-1.40.11
PTEX.Fullbanner: This is pdfTeX Version 3.1415926-1.40.11-22 (TeX Live
2010)
These are the only ones I see with my version of Acrobat, but there might be more embedded in the PDF.
I am wondering if there are settings to control the values of the properties that are embedded in the PDF doc. I recall a case where Acrobat had embedded the login userid in it, but I don't see that here on my Mac. I would like to customize all these properties, unless of course they are necessary (I am assuming that the list of fonts is required in order to be able to display the PDF properly).
There most likely is a way to do this with Acrobat Pro, but that would require me to do this separately for each file.

There are at least two ways of doing this.
Option 1: During production of the LaTeX document and using the
hyperref
package. In the manual it mentions you can set the following document property information:pdftitle
)pdfauthor
)pdfsubject
)pdfcreator
)pdfproducer
)pdfkeywords
)To that effect, you could use
Option 2: You can modify/update the PDF document properties during post-production via the PDF Toolkit using the following command line execution:
The text file
<pdf_info>
looks like a key-value list for each of the fields you intend to update.
