Why use PDF Metadata Editor?

PDF metadata — the title, author, subject, and keywords stored in a file's Document Information — often goes unnoticed until it causes a problem: a shared report still lists a template's placeholder author, or a document doesn't show up in search because its title field was never set. These fields are separate from the visible content on the page, so fixing them doesn't touch your document's layout or text. This tool reads and rewrites those standard fields directly, entirely in your browser, so you can correct or add metadata before sharing a PDF without needing desktop software.

Frequently asked questions

What PDF metadata can I edit?

The standard Document Information fields: Title, Author, Subject, and Keywords. These are the fields most PDF readers and operating systems display in file properties.

Will editing metadata change the PDF's content?

No — metadata edits only touch the document properties, not the visible pages, text, or formatting inside the PDF.

Does this remove metadata a previous editor left behind?

It overwrites whatever you edit with your new values, so replacing an old title or author field removes the previous value from that field.
