Removing personal info from Word document

[Guest Michel]

Hi,

 

I made myself a resume in Word which I want to post on the Internet. I have

removed my personal data, like name and address from the document, and plan

to create an Acrobat pdf file from this Word document. But when I look at the

pdf file in explorer I still see my name in the abstract of the file. Hover

your mouse pointer above a Word document in Explorer and you will see what I

mean. So, this information is still available. My question is, what do I need

to do to remove this personal data?

 

I already looked in the properties of the Word document, and saw my name in

it. I removed this, but still my name comes back in the file abstract.

I searched the Registry for occurrences of my name, and found that the

program I use to create the PDF file (PrimoPDF) has my name. I changed that

and the problem is now solved.

When installing (and at every other opportunity) I use:

 

Enter company name: Your Company Name Here

Enter your name: Your Name Here
