- Open document properties in a reader and verify the values.
Tips for better results
- Use a short, descriptive title and relevant keywords.

- Date fields and producer information may display differently across readers.
Before you finish
Only supported properties are updated. Verify any field important to your workflow rather than assuming every viewer shows it identically.
