we can do this (line 308 of lpdf-wid)

     if author == "" and title ~= "" then
         author = title
         title  = filename or ""
     end

but you can also add an author field to the specification as what shows 
up in the pdf is partly the side effect of fallbacks for missing fields

(and ... it's one of these pdf features that is unreliable anyway as 
it's viewer dependent .. read: specs before implementations and then 
acrobat behavior defining what will happen; the whole 'associate 
rendering with some annotation mechanism is fragile as depending on the 
version of acrobat it works this or that way, probably because no 
application uses plugged-in rendering, it's the same with form fields 
... a depressing mess)
