Producer and Creator values do not get written out

[rmcmanamy]

If I change the Producer or Creator values and check them they do return the values that I set. Even if I set them just prior to the Save or SaveAs call. But if I do a Save or SaveAs the producer is overwitten with PDF-XCange Viewer and the Creator is still the original values.

I also noticed that if I do set it and open the properties dialog box that the values also default back to the original creator and the PDF-XChange for the viewer.

For your default it would be nice if it was PDF-XChange ViewerX to distinguish if it was modified in the ActiveX control or in the end user version.

But we really need to track our software and version number also so it would be nice if the developer sets the producer that that value is not overwritten. Or at the very least to have it so it's the General.ApplicationTitle - PDF-XChange ViewerX.

Thanks,

Hi, Rodney.

In new build you will be able to setup custom producer info by:

Code: Select all

...
SetDocumentProperty(docId, "Producer", "Custom App. [<version>], any other info..", 0);
...
SetProperty("Documents.AllowSaveCustomProducer", 1, 0); // by default, it is not allowed
SaveDocument(docId);

And in new build you will be able to change 'Creator' value directly by:

Code: Select all

SetDocumentProperty(docId, "Creator", "My App.", 0);
