About the Edit PDF metadata tool
Every PDF carries metadata you never see while reading: title, author, subject, keywords, and the creating program's name. Many programs silently store your real name or device name in there without asking — information you may not want shared with everyone who receives the file. This tool gives you full control: edit any field, or wipe all metadata at once.
Tuning metadata has an upside too: a correct title and author improve how the file surfaces in search results and document-management systems. Editing runs in your browser with no upload. Remember this invisible data differs from the visible text — to remove sensitive content from the pages themselves, use the Redact tool.
When do you need this tool?
Privacy before publishing
Wipe your name and device name from a file before publishing it or sharing beyond your circle.
Correcting document data
Fix title and author on inherited files carrying junk like "Document1" or ex-employees' names.
Preparing files for indexing
Add accurate keywords and titles to your library's files so search and archiving systems find them easily.

Frequently asked questions
What happens to fields I leave empty?+
They stay exactly as they are in the original file, unless you enable the option to clear all metadata.
Why would I want to clear metadata?+
Some PDF creation software automatically stores your real name or device name inside the file; clearing it protects your privacy before sharing.
