Adding a version number to PDF file property

[Richard Doll]

Jon,

IF you really want/need a version "ident" as part of a file name . . . (and I do understand its need) . . . ??
Then you probably have need to be able to follow it back to the source.
I accomplish this by adding an "alphanairy" number after a hyphen behind and as part-of the "logical" file name.

¿alphanairy? . . . my own system to enable l-a-r-g-e numbers with fewer character positions.

to whit . . .  as the 1st column a = 1 and z = 26, one can count/define a version for 26 different iterations in any single thing with only one letter.
                   using the 2nd column aa= 27 and ab = 28 as above
such that . . 676 versions can be accomplished with 2 "alphas" when going to "zz ( = ing 26 squared).

a quirky solution . . . but I know of no "auto-click" to enable "sys-versioning" accountability'

best to all,

  Everyone,

  Is there a way to incorporate a version number into the properties of a PDF file so that it appears in Window explorer properties? To see what I mean, do this:

  1. In Windows Explorer, right-click any PDF file and select Properties.
  2. Select the Details tab.

  The details for the PDF include the file name, type, folder path, size, etc. but not a file version. However, if you view the details of an application file, its file version appears.

  How can I add the file version properties for a PDF file?

  ................................... Jon
