What is PDF Metadata?
PDF metadata is information embedded in your documents that describes the file's properties. Simply put, it is additional data about your PDF file. This includes the title, author name, keywords, creation date, modification date. You can start editing this for free with our PDF metadata editor. While invisible in the document itself, metadata appears in file properties and can be read by search engines, document management systems, and computers. Editing it helps you organize files, improve searchability and protect privacy.
Why Edit PDF Metadata?
- Correct Information: A metadata viewer, or computers will look at your file’s metadata for information about the file. Correct metadata ensures your document is properly identified and understood.
- Protect Privacy: Metadata can contain sensitive information. Editing or removing it can help protect your privacy.
- Boost Searchability: Accurate metadata improves the searchability of your files both within the local file systems and on the web.
