    Default How do you determine the original programthat a PDF document was created in?

    I am a novice user of Acrobat on both the Mac and the PC. I use various versions of Acrobat from 5.0 on up, depending on which computer I am on. I am wondering if one can figure out the original software (Quark, Illustrator, Microsoft Word, etc.) that created a PDF document. Thank you.

    With the document open in Acrobat v6:
