What Is an Enfocus Certified PDF
Document?
Introducing Metadata
Any regular PDF document contains metadata, i.e.
information about the document itself. The Docu-
ment Summary dialog box of Adobe Acrobat, for
example, contains metadata such as:
• Title, subject and author of the PDF document
• Creator: The native application in which the
original document was created
• Producer: the printer driver with which the
PDF document was generated
• PDF version
•Page size
Certified PDF Metadata
An Enfocus Certified PDF document can be enriched
with the following metadata:
• A reference to one or more source documents
on which the PDF document was based
• A Preflight Profile
• A preflight report
• User and system identification
• An edit log, listing all the changes done in the
PDF document per editing session (the time in
which the PDF document was opened, edited
and saved)
• A session comment

Certified PDF User Identification
An Enfocus Certified PDF document can contain two
types of user identification:
• Personal Information
• System Information
Each of these serves its own purpose.
Personal Information
The personal information includes your name and
company contact details, together with a message,
if any.
This information allows people to reach you if they
should have any questions about your edit or pre-
flight actions done in the PDF document.
System Information
The system information consists of the details of
the person who registered Instant PDF and infor-
mation taken from your operating system, network
and computer.
This information cannot be changed and is there-
fore a reliable source to pinpoint responsibility, for
example. If people claim or disclaim responsibility
for a given change made in the PDF document, the
system information will provide incontestable
proof. This information will be used in the edit log
to show who made which changes in a given ses-
sion.
To change or view your personal information:
1 In the Instant PDF main window, choose
File > Preferences > Personal Information.
2 If required, fill in your personal information
and click OK to save the changes.
