Change PDF title in browser window

Question

I have a pdf file that I am putting on a website for a client. It is located here... http://www.optiphysicaltherapy.com/dev/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/OPTI_NewPatientForms.pdf

The title should be OPTI New Patient Forms but if you look at the tab in the browser and the name at the top of the browser window it says "Coury And..."

Where can I go to change this?

The website is using Wordpress 3.8.1 and I am not sure if it is in Wordpress or in the actual pdf file.

Thank you,

Matt

Answer 1

Ok, So I found out how to change the meta-data in a .pdf form here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7c63.w.html (dead link; archived version here)

Sure enough the Title in the Meta Data within the .pdf was "Coury And..."

Once I changed this the Tab and the Title in Firefox web browser changed to have the title that I wanted.

This shows us that the meta-data in the .pdf does show in Firefox as if it were the meta-title of the webpage when displaying a .pdf within the browser.

Answer 2

If you have access to the Word document in which the PDF is based, you can define the title when you save the file.

Answer 3

Open the PDF with Notepad++ and search (CTRL+F) for /Title Change title between brackets (and leave the brackets) For instance: Change "/Title (OLD TITLE)" into "/Title (This is my new title)"

Save the PDF and Voila

Answer 4

Whatever was on that link, I did it opening the PDF with a hex editor (HxD) and searching Title, so I found /Title (untitled) somewhere and just edited it (changed the value between parentheses, here untitled).

Answer 5

no need to change in meta of pdf. just to following change in iframe url http://localhost:8080/getDataPDF//?patientId=145. use // to solve this problem it can hide your title.

Answer 6

Open the PDF document in Adobe Acrobat Pro: (OR use google chrome extension)

• (1) Go to Select File > Properties

• (2) Select the Description tab to view the metadata in the document, including the document information dictionary

• (3) Modify the Title field to add or change the document's Title entry

Answer 7

When you open pdf in chrome you can hit print and save as pdf. As file name write what you want as title in browser, it should be the same now.

Answer 8

Open File > Properties, then in the box labeled 'Title', add your title. Click on the 'Initial View' tab, where it says Show:, make sure the drop down says 'Document Title' instead of 'File Name'. This works for Chrome, but sadly not IE yet.

Answer 9

For change my pdf tittle I just open it on nano terminal, or with another text editor that open the raw, and I edit the Title field.

Answer 10

The title can be changed inside MS Office or LibreOffice if you have access to the source by going to file/properties/description.

Answer 11

As another answer suggested, printing as a PDF works here if you have the source document. What the other answer perhaps got wrong was that there is an option to add a title in the print dialog.

Answer 12

The title does not come from the pdf. it comes from the word file you export it from. Right click on the word file, go to details. change the title and export again

Good luck
