Tips for Error Prevention
Create your document using a standard word processing program such as Microsoft Word, as you can set a document title in such programs (in Word, for example, under File > Information > Properties). This will then be correctly entered into the PDF during PDF export and displayed in the PDF software window. This way, you do not have to correct the error afterwards.
