Setting up the file
Open PDF
Go to File > Properties
Choose properties under the file menu
Description Tab > fill in Title (title of PDF) and Author (if no author is listed on the PDF use HHS\ACF\OHS or whatever your client has told you to use for the default author. If you don’t know, leave it blank. It can be changed or filled in later.)
Note on filling out the Subject and Keywords fields: I’ve heaerd it is important for search engine optimization to have something relevant in the subject and keywords fields. You should ask your client what they’d like in those fields and explain the benefits of having those fields filled out.
Fill in the Title and Author. Subject and Keywords is optional.

Navigation Tab: Pages Panel and Page (unless the file is longer than 21 pages — then use Bookmarks Panel and Page)
