For me at least, I've been creating pdf's from msword through acrobat

is when i log into XP, all of my sw is registered to my full name
(i.e. David MacDonald). In Distiller, under Edit -> Pref's -> General
-> Identity, the uneditable field Login Name is set to "Dave" and not
the name that the s/w is reg'd under.

It sounds as though this will be application dependent. Using plain
old acrobat (6.0), I was able to simply supply a name:
File|Document Properties
I did some quick looking around for any information about Adobe
Capture Server, but information was pretty sparse. It might make
sense for that sort of application to embed the login ID of the
current user. As Valdis pointed out: that may, or may not coincide
with the identity of the creator of the document.

either of you, or someone else, could elaborate on this, I
think a reasonable possibility exists that the listed author
may not even be the person that is logged in. From what I
read so far, it seems that this field could be more along
the lines Office metadata, which is set at the time of
install of the authoring program, and may not be the
currently logged in user (although I think Office uses this
by default, but anything can be entered). For example, I
can install office while logged in as Bob, but type George
in for my name, initials, etc. when Office starts for the
first time, and this George value will be used for the
author metadata field. This sounds quite similar.
