Re: PDF Doc properties

[Martha J Davidson <editrix@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Peter,

I didn't realize you could set the properties that Brian referred to in 
Distiller settings. I know I can set Magnification: Fit Width in the PDF 
Setup properties of an FM book, but the other settings he listed I've only 
been able to do with post-processing by hand in Acrobat. I'm still using 
Acrobat 5.05; if I upgraded to Acrobat 7 Pro, could I specify in my 
Distiller joboptions file Show: Document Title for each book?
