I have a pdf file that I am putting on a website for a client. It is located here... http://www.optiphysicaltherapy.com/dev/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/OPTI_NewPatientForms.pdf
The title should be OPTI New Patient Forms but if you look at the tab in the browser and the name at the top of the browser window it says "Coury And..."
Where can I go to change this?
The website is using Wordpress 3.8.1 and I am not sure if it is in Wordpress or in the actual pdf file.
Thank you,
Matt
Problem experienced: When viewing your uploaded PDF, the text in the web browser tab is showing an unintended/unexpected document title. Reason: The browser is simply reading the metadata that is saved in the actual PDF file as the document title, which may be different from the document file name.
There are four probable reasons why your PDF cannot be renamed – 1) The file is still open with an application 2) the file is deleted or changed in another window 3) the file is being named too long or with characters that are not allowed 4) the file was made with a faulty application.
Adobe has finally rolled out an update of the Acrobat extension of Google Chrome which now allows users to edit PDF files on the browser itself.
Ok, So I found out how to change the meta-data in a .pdf form here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7c63.w.html (dead link; archived version here)
Sure enough the Title in the Meta Data within the .pdf was "Coury And..."
Once I changed this the Tab and the Title in Firefox web browser changed to have the title that I wanted.
This shows us that the meta-data in the .pdf does show in Firefox as if it were the meta-title of the webpage when displaying a .pdf within the browser.
If you have access to the Word document in which the PDF is based, you can define the title when you save the file.
