The title is inserted in Configuration > Publishing Options > PDF > PDF Options. By default, you will find the <%TITLE%> variable there. Instead of just replacing it with regular text, it's better to actually redefine the variable so that it's used correctly everywhere. To do that, go to Configuration > Common Properties > Title & Copyright. The title is the Text in the Help Title: field. If you want to include the version you can do this either als plain text there, or you can also define the Major / Minor / Build version numbers further down in that section and then use the following variables in the Help Title: field:
  • <%VERSION%>: Writes all three numbers separated by dots, e.g. 9.6.227
  • <%VERSION_MAJOR%>: The major version number
  • <%VERSION_MINOR%>: The minor version number
  • <%VERSION_BUILD%>:The version build number
