Add option to use file name instead of TITLE in the Adobe Acrobat Reader
It is difficult to figure out which file is which when viewing multiple files with the same TITLE. The person using the reader is powerless to change the title.
PLEASE provide a global preference / setting in the Reader,preferences to have the Reader use the file name all the time.
Hi,
We are delighted to share with you that Acrobat and Reader Desktop release for DC Continuous (20.012.20041) is Live now and this takes care of this Feature Request.
For more Info refer here : https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/whats-new.html
A new document preference is added to let you use the filename as the document title. By default, the preference is disabled. To enable the preference, go to Acrobat preferences, and click Documents in the left pane. Under Open Settings, select Always Use Filename As Document Title.
Please update your Acrobat/Reader (It should Auto update or you should do Help → Check for updates) and let us know your Feedback.
Thanks

Please allow displaying the filename instead of the "Title". Some of my credit cards have titles (which I cannot change) and they use the same title every month (e.g. "Citi Cards Communication"). If I want to display several months of statements, they all get "Citi Cards Communication" in the tab name for every tab.

I also find this very frustrating - It is IMPOSSIBLE to differentiate files being read when they all are displayed with the same title. Wastes an incredible amount of time.

In Acrobat Reader, allow user to choose whether filename or value from 'document title' field is displayed to inform user of the name of a PDF that is open.
Majority of users when they re-use/modify content of an existing document (e.g. in Word file format) do not update the value in the 'Title' field in Word before saving to PDF. They save their document under a new/modified filename and consider this to be sufficient to indicate a change from the previous version of the document.
Acrobat Reader by default displays value from 'document title' field and this conflicts with standard user behaviour and expectations, because the document name displayed is not filename. Furthermore, when multiple PDF documents are opened in Reader, it is challenging and user un-friendly to navigate to the correct tab for a document that a user wishes to view. -

We also have encounter some issues with the inspection as all the documents will display the Document Name instead of the File Name when opening in Acrobat Reader. Please do note we are talking about possible thousands of PDF document in the artifacts. It will be hard to navigate the document based on the name display in Reader as it will show different name instead of the File Name in the folder. Please do consider about this. Thanks

Hi. This has to do w/ the file tabs display at the top of the screen. For example, if I have two PDFs open, I cannot view the full file names!! Each tab displays about 16 characters, then a "..." which is super annoying. There is so much "white space" to the right of the tabs that the tabs could accommodate the full file name but does not. Can the tabs have variable widths, and only crunch down in size when "too many" PDF are open?
