Edit PDF Metadata

Edit PDF metadata: title, author, subject and keywords

Open a PDF's file properties and you might find it still carries the working title from a template, an author field showing whoever exported it last, or nothing at all in the fields that matter. That looks unprofessional when you send a report with your name on it, and it can affect how the file gets found and labeled elsewhere.

This tool lets you view and change the title, author, subject and keywords stored inside the PDF, without touching the pages or content. Open the file, see the current values, edit whichever fields need it, and save a new copy with the metadata updated. Fields you leave untouched keep their existing values rather than being cleared. The file is sent to our servers over a secure connection to read and update those fields, then deleted again within the hour.

Metadata fields are plain text, so there is no formatting to apply and no practical character limit for typical use.

• Keywords work best as a short comma separated list rather than a paragraph.
• Only the descriptive fields change here, not the pages, layout, or any visible content.
• If you need to edit text or images inside the document, a different tool built for that fits better.
• It is also a quick way to check what a received PDF is carrying before you pass it along.
