Question : How do I avoid double quotation marks by using comma in Acrobat Acrobat v.9.x

We have a tools that will add metadata (title, author, subject, and keywords) to 160,000 PDF files using XMP. Whenever I am inputting a list of authors separated by commas, like this: Office, Branch it will end up like: "Office, Branch" with quotation marks. The only way I can avoid it is to use dash (-), but we would like to preserve it by using commas. Is it a bug ? Any tips?

Answer : How do I avoid double quotation marks by using comma in Acrobat Acrobat v.9.x

Excel is the reason you are getting this then, it could be due to the default delimiter in Windows being the comma. Try the following to change it - you can put it back to the comma when you are finished. I don't know if this will work but it's worth trying I guess!

In XP, click the Windows Start menu.
Click Control Panel.
Open the Regional and Language Options dialog box.
Click the Regional Options Tab.
Click Customize.
Type a new separator in the List separator box, such as bar | or hash #
Click OK twice.

All your programs will now default to the new delimiter. Make sure you restart your applications/computer to ensure the change is applied.
