Edit PDF Metadata

Every PDF carries document properties: a title, author, subject, keywords, the creating application and dates. They appear in the browser tab when the PDF is opened online, in search results and in the “Properties” window of PDF readers. This editor shows the current values and lets you change, add or delete any of them before saving a new copy.

Use it to give a report a proper title instead of “Microsoft Word – Document1”, to add keywords that help people find a published PDF, or to strip your name and software details before sharing. The file is edited in your browser and never uploaded; page content is copied unchanged.

How to use the Edit PDF Metadata tool

1. Choose or drop the PDF you want to edit.
2. Change the fields you need. Leave a field empty to remove it.
3. Set the created and modified dates, or keep “Set Modified to now” ticked.
4. Click Save PDF to download the updated file.

Metadata and SEO for published PDFs

Search engines index PDFs and often use the document’s Title property as the clickable headline in results. A descriptive title, a short subject line and a few relevant keywords make a published PDF look more trustworthy and easier to find. The title is also what appears in the browser tab when someone opens the file online.

Removing personal information

Click Clear all fields and save to remove the author, software and dates from the document properties. The tool also removes the separate XMP metadata block if one exists, because some readers show that instead of the normal properties. Note that names can also appear inside the page content itself, which this tool does not change.
