> Follow-up question: Does the fact that a PDF has the setting, "File, Properties, Initial View, Window Options, Show File Name" rather than "Show Document Title" violate a specific WCAG Guideline?

To my knowledge this is a PDF/UA requirement. Is a WCAG failure? That might be a little more difficult to answer to say with certainty. You have a title in the document which would seem to meet the success criteria even if it wasn't displayed. That doesn't help the user though. My opinions are my own.
