[Solved] How to remove the author of PDF file?

[akyahoo]

File-->Export as PDF. Then, right click the "Properties" of the PDF file. In the second tab "PDF Information". It shows the author.

How to remove this personal information? I do not want my name to be shown in PDF Document Information.

If you still have the source file (I assume that you have) try this: before exporting the file go to File > Properties > general (the first tab of the dialog box) and uncheck the opition "Use user data" and press delete. Then export the doc to the PDF. That should help.

Since I use native language version of the OOo, the names of the options may be slightly diffrent.

In the UK English version the options are File > Properties > General Tab, uncheck the Apply User Data option, click Reset and then click OK.

Any file you create automatically takes the user name you used to logon with. Simply creating a new user will solve the author issue. I also struggled a bit with this until my wife suggested creating a new user ... Of course ... what was I thinking??!!
