the particular publication. If more languages are needed in the dropdown list,

PDF Properties
With the advent of Adobe Reader 8, there are now two different methods for
finding the producer software application and version. First, open the file. If
there is a triangle or arrowhead pointing to the right at the top of the scroll
bar, click on it and select Properties. If the triangle doesn’t display, go to the
menu bar and click File, then, select Properties. Either way, the software and
version used to create the file is in the Advanced box, following PDF
