General ⇒ PDF properties

[jonathan webley]

PDF files have properties such as author and title. Is there any way of setting these via LaTeX?

[josephwright]

hyperref does this nicely, or you can of course do things directly with the primitives.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[
  pdfauthor = {Some Person},
  pdftitle = {A long title, perhaps}
  pdfsubject =  {Some rubbish I've made up}
]{hyperref}

This can also be set using \hypersetup after loading the package.

Thanks, Joseph!

pdfsubject isn't recognised, but using hypersetup works great.

[josephwright]

I forget the exact option names. You can set various things, which are all listed in the hyperref notes somewhere.

[phi]

pdfsubject is correct, but you've forgotten a comma.
