When generating a report on the current document (Layout > Reports...) the author's line is just my first name, and the copyright date is a year off. Is there a way to change the information internally in PageStream? I realize I can change it as a text file, but I would prefer the report, and generated PDF files to have the info I want.

The only way to set them (unless someone has a script that does it) is
to use the commands SetDocumentAuthor and SetDocumentCopyright

So in a new script, type:

SetDocumentAuthor "Rick Buxton"
SetDocumentCopyright "Copyright 2012 Rick Buxton"

(Modify as you see fit)

Then execute the script when the document in question is open.

Thank you, Deron. It worked like a charm.

Deron didn't specify, but I'm pretty sure that:

Document Author is the name you used when registering PgS. In my case that is my full name so the report shows my full name.

Document Copyright is the year the document was created. The one I'm currently working on says 2010 which might be right and might be a year off -- revision history places v1.0 at 19 Jan 2011, but I don't always save revisions. When I created a document just now the report listed it as copyright 2012.

The document creation date makes sense for a copyright date, although I could see an argument for updating it on save. PgS provides an "on save" script execute function which would allow setting that (the same as I use it to commit to document repository on save). I realize not everyone feels comfortable with writing scripts -- but it would be trivial to do so. I'd just have to take a look to remember how I did the "on save" in the first place before I provided one.

Thank you for the info. The two scripts Deron provided did exactly what I wanted. So for now, all is okay.
Rick
