Mapsoft InfoSetter
Version 1.5

Introduction

You can use the InfoSetter tool to set document information pertaining to your PDF document(s). This tool allows you to set or change the standard PDFs document information fields listed below:

q  Title

q  Subject

q  Author

q  Keyword

q  Index

q  Base URL

Many word processing packages used to generate PDF files do not automatically provide this information.

Using InfoSetter

To set document information for the current document:

1.      Open the appropriate file.

2.      Select Plug-Ins > Mapsoft > InfoSetter from Acrobats main menu.

3.      The InfoSetter dialog box then displays.



See the section InfoSetter Options below for details on all the options available here.

4.      Click the check boxes next to any of the options you wish to change and insert your new text. For example you might want to set a documents name and the name of its author.

If attaching an Index to your PDF document you can use the Browse button to search for the index you require.

5.     Optionally, enter a name for your new configuration into the Name Configuration field and click Save. This makes this graphic available for re-use in another session of InfoSetter or for use with Mapsofts macro builder tool, Automator, which is available for purchase from Mapsofts website: www.mapsoft.com. See the section Saving an InfoSetter Configuration below for further details on this step.

6.         Click the OK tab to save the information you have entered.

Saving an InfoSetter Configuration

To save a particular InfoSetter configuration for further re-use, simply enter a name for it into the Configuration Name field, then click the Save button. This makes this configuration available for re-use in another session of InfoSetter. You do not have to save a particular configuration details before stamping a document, but if you do not save its details, you will need to re-define all those details if you wish to use it again.

Once saved, you can delete any existing InfoSetter configurations you no longer require simply by selecting the appropriate one from the drop-down list in the Configuration Name field and then clicking the Delete button.
