Andrew,

All that needs to be done is for the engineering team to set the default
setting to Show: Title rather than Show: File Name (Doc Properties | Initial
View).

That way whatever is in the Title field of the metadata will be picked up
and the file will pass accessibility checkers.

I logged a bug and feature request for this a couple of times but it's never
gone through. Hopefully you can make some headway!

Logan,
You did your work correctly. For now, until this is adjusted by Adobe, just
change the setting manually: Doc Properties | Initial View | Show: Title

Then run your accessibility checker.

We've noticed this and logged a bug for the product team. I'm not sure what
causes it but it is a problem. We're getting it in the queue to be fixed.

Thanks,

I'm sure I've missed something simple, but it's Friday afternoon, my brain
is fried and I can't figure it out. Hopefully someone will feel "kind" and
correct my wayward habit! LOL

I created a document in Word 2007, filling in a "title" within the
Properties. The document was then converted to a PDF (using Acrobat 11) and
when I view properties on the PDF, the same title I entered in Word appears
in the Title field for the PDF. YET, when I run the full accessibility
check in Acrobat 11 I get a FAILURE on Document Title.

Any thoughts? I have a feeling this may have been discussed previously.
