Hi Bevi,

In Acrobat, under properties, are you changing the Initial View of ŒFile
Name¹ to 'Document Title¹ in the section ŒWindow Options¹? When you do
that and save, the title at the top goes from this-is-your-filename.pdf to
the title of the document as it appears in the properties.

Thanks for the clarification.
