Yes, thank you both.

I was, with increasing frustration, looking down the side panel at all the Tools.

Eventually, I noticed the three hoizontal lines and looked there and found Document Properties. Which was peculiar as I had already used that menu to open the PDF document.

I had wondered whether I had somehow managed to install a trial version of Adobe Acrobat.

By the way, does the Affinity suite version 2 still have the peculiarity that one cannot put one's name as the author in the PDF document Document Properties using Affinity Designer?

William, try File menu > Document properties > General

I think ‘Document Properties’ in Adobe Acrobat Reader should be an option on the File menu, but if not the standard keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+D.

I have been making a PDF document using Affinity Publisher version 1, which I have done before, but not on this new computer.

The artwork was produced in Affinity Designer version 1 but I produced the PDF document using Affinity Publisher so as to have my name as Author in the PDF document Author field.

As far as I know all is fine.

So I then installed Adobe Acrobat Reader, commonly known as Adobe Reader, or at least I think I did, but maybe not.

I just want to get to the Properties panel of the PDF document that I have opened to check that my name is listed as Author.

But there seem to be lots of tools but not that Properties facility.

Any idea of what is happenimg please?
