OMG THANK YOU! I'm a freelance book editor, usually copyediting in Word but now doing a rare (for me) cold read in Acrobat. I wasted hours trying to find the answer to this, and you saved me! 🙏

Excellent thank you! That this should be so difficult is fail for Adobe interface human factors

Hi Erin, thank you, this is useful, but when I open a new PDF, the other name appears again... any instructions on how to remove it permanently?
