Edit PDF metadata

Change the standard PDF information fields without rasterizing the pages.

When to use it

  • Set the title and author on a report before distribution.
  • Keep an unchanged copy of the source file when creating edited documents.

How to use this tool

Enter one or more of title, author, subject and keywords. The editor updates only the fields supplied, then exports a rewritten PDF without rasterizing its pages.

Check the exported file

Inspect the updated document properties. Some applications may also store XMP metadata, comments or embedded author information that this editor does not remove.

Frequently asked questions

Does this remove all personal information?

No. This only edits standard metadata fields and is not comprehensive metadata removal.

Can this change existing digital signatures?

Creating a rewritten PDF can invalidate existing digital signatures. Review any signed input before relying on the edited output.

How to use Edit PDF Metadata online

Edit supported PDF metadata such as title, author, subject, and keywords so a document is easier to identify, search, archive, or hand off. Metadata changes affect document properties rather than the visible words printed on each page.

Step-by-step

  1. Choose the PDF whose document properties you want to edit.
  2. Enter or revise supported fields such as title, author, subject, or keywords.
  3. Save the metadata changes into a new PDF copy.
  4. Reopen the file properties and confirm the intended fields were updated.

When Edit PDF Metadata is useful

  • Improve document identification in local file collections
  • Add descriptive metadata before archiving
  • Correct outdated document properties

Tips for better results

Metadata is separate from visible page text. Use accurate titles and authors for organization, but do not rely on metadata alone to remove sensitive information from a document.
