There aren't three options, just one (set). One "et al." text, one "in italics", etc.

You can have this set of options applied to Authors, Editors, or both. For example, you can tell Bookends to use et al. for authors but not editors.

1. In preferences you can tell Bookends to use a format to rename PDFs. Thus, define a format that outputs what you want: a d t. And set it to output just the first author, surname only of that's what you want.
How/where do we define a format to edit the output? I am only seeing the option to use other pre-defined outputs. I would like a_d_t as well.

That's done in the Format Manager.
