How to change Login Name?

This is a system parameter that records the log-in name of the person logging on to the computer using the security system of the computer. Consider the havoc that could occur if one changes this on the fly without respecting the systems security. All you trusted network connections would be invalid.

The above are for Acrobat X, but it is the same in Acrobat 7 and you should be able to find similar topics in Help for your version.

Hello George,

Unfortunately, this didn't work. First, the Preferences are under the Edit menu in my version (not the File menu), but more importantly, there is no "Commenting" category in the Preferences dialogue box. I've searched in all of the categories that are there, from 3D to Identity to Startup to Updates and cannot find anything that I can uncheck that seems even similar to "Always use log-in name for Author".

I have looked through the Help files and I'm still coming up empty.

If you have any other thoughts, I'd love to hear them.

Thanks,

Jill

I see what you mean, but that just isn't there in my Adobe Reader 7.0. The Categories start at 3D and end at Updates. That top section, shown in the image above, isn't showing in my version. Is there a way to turn that on?

This is the answer.
