Author from Power BI Report Builder Displays Inconsistently in Adobe Accessible PDF

Hello,

We are converting our Power BI paginated report to "Accessible PDF" and we want the Author metadata within the resulting PDF to be updated properly as part of the conversion process. We added the Author in Power BI Report Builder via Properties > General > Author. After converting to PDF, the Author DOES show up if you check using Adobe Accessibility Checker (specifically, selecting the error for "Title-Failed" > Fix to bring up the Description menu). However, if it DOES NOT show up if you navigate to the Description menu via Menu > Document Properties. We're not sure why the Author is not being picked up consistently in the Accessible PDF that is generated. How can we fix this in Power BI so that the Author also displays correctly when the user selects Menu > Document Properties? 

 

Note: These are dynamically generated PDFs so it would NOT be possible to add the Author manually once the PDF is generated. 

 

Screenshot of the Author displayed when we navigate via the Adobe Accessibility Checker (specifically selecting the error for "Title-Failed" > Fix to bring up the Description menu):

Hi @bethwhitmer 

This is your open pdf in Adobe, if you open this pdf in other pdf software, you can see in the properties of the corresponding author's name?
