Edit PDF Metadata
PDF files carry hidden properties that most people forget about: the title saved in Word, the author name baked in by an office printer, the subject line from an email plugin. Anyone who opens the file’s Properties panel can read them. This editor lets you set the document title, author, subject, and keywords before you share a file — or replace identifying details with neutral ones. Fill in only the fields you want to change; the rest stay exactly as they are. The update happens entirely in your browser, and the visible pages are never touched.

Tips for best results
- Check a PDF’s properties before sending — leftover titles and author names are common information leaks.
- Keep keywords short and comma-separated so document managers can index the file.
- Set a clear, generic title on shared copies so recipients know what the file is at a glance.
Frequently asked questions
Which metadata fields can I change?
You can set the title, author, subject, and keywords — the four fields shown in most readers’ Properties panels. Other internal fields, such as the creation date, remain from the original file.
Does editing metadata change the visible pages?
No. Only the document properties are updated. Page content, images, and formatting stay exactly as they were in the original file.
