Hi,
After generating a PDF from a .tex file, I changed the name of the resulting PDF to something else. But when I open that file in 'evince', it still shows the old file name.
I opened that file in emacs in saw that I lot of info is stored in the PDF file: original file name, creation date, "generated by Context" etc.
Hit Ctrl-D in Acrobat (while viewing the document), tabs "Description" and "Custom"...
That can be a problem sometimes. For instance, someone wouldn't want to write a file like 'I_hate_my_job.tex' and then change the result to 'report_to_boss.pdf', just to see his manager opening the file and reading the first name. Or, in my situation, write a file with special Unicode characters and see evince show the file name as bogus characters.
Not the best example, but in general I agree. In my special case I don't want the overhead for smaler standalone metapost graphics (for inclusion only).
How can I instruct Context not to write anything inside the PDF file that I have not asked for?
There is currently no interface for this. But you are free (with the risk of breaking things now or in the future) to change the code for your needs. Add this to a standalone file (reporttoboss.tex?) for inclusion and comment the info you don't want: \unprotect % code taken from spec-fdf.tex \def\doPDFsetupidentity#1#2#3#4#5#6% {\bgroup \enablePDFdocencoding \edef\!!stringa{#5}% \ifx\!!stringa\empty \ifx\pdfdate\undefined\else \edef\!!stringa{D:\pdfdate}% \fi \fi \expanded{\doPDFaddtoinfo {/Title (#1) /Subject (#2) /Author (#3) /Creator (#4) /ModDate (\!!stringa) %% /ID (\jobname.\!!stringa) % needed for pdf/x /Keywords (#6)}}% \egroup} \def\addPDFdocumentinfo {\doPDFaddtocatalog{\currentPDFpagemode\currentPDFviewerprefs}% \doPDFaddtocatalog{/Version \ifdim\PDFversion00\points>100\points 1.\fi\PDFversion}% \doPDFaddtoinfo{/Trapped /False}% !leave unchanged! \doPDFaddtoinfo{/ConTeXt.Version (\contextversion)}% \doPDFaddtoinfo{/ConTeXt.Time (\number\normalyear.\twodigits\normalmonth.\twodigits\normalday\space \twodigits\currenthour:\twodigits\currentminute)}% %% \doPDFaddtoinfo{/ConTeXt.Jobname (\jobname)}% \doPDFaddtoinfo{/ConTeXt.Url (www.pragma-ade.com)}} \protect \endinput See the pdf reference manual for more details. And better check from time to time if things have changed. This is ConTeXt ;) Regards, Peter
Thanks, Maurício
