You can add document information to a PDF file such as title, subject, author of a document and some keywords that describe its contents. This information is useful for finding documents. For example, if you are searching for documents written by the same author, or created on the same subject. The Document Settings dialog box serves for adding information. You can access this dialog box either from Create Assistant, the Kofax PDF Create Properties dialog box, or from the Save As dialog box.

Tips
You can also specify custom fields for PDF information.
PDF Create allows document information to be transferred from Office documents (Word, Excel or PowerPoint). If Embed Metadata is enabled under the Advanced Settings tab in the Kofax PDF Settings for Word / Excel / PowerPoint dialog box, this metadata overwrites any data placed through the Document Settings dialog box.
