What do you use for PDF Generation?

That hit count is deceptive because of the way the search was 
specified. The search returns all pages that include the word 
"Document" or the word "Settings", not just the ones that have
inappropriate metadata strings. 

Use the search specification
    "Documents and Settings" +pdf  
for a more relevant search result. (A quick visual scan of a 
hundred or so result listings showed that all of them included 
a pathname that included the user's login name, which was not
the case with the broader search.) But even this narrower search 
returns more than 2 million hits, including more than 200,000
documents that deal with some aspect of computer security!

My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

Good grief - that google search for "Documents and Settings\
filetype:pdf" has 14 million hits!! Is there anything you can do to stop
Word doing that when you print direct to Distiller?

Cheers, Rebecca

An Adobe Technical Note I saw a while ago had a similar recommendation
(= 
turn off "Convert Document Information" in PDFMaker).

I disagree with this recommendation;  more in this month's Hmmm...,

it?")
