PDF metadata is information stored with a PDF that describes the document and its properties. It is separate from the visible text, images, and layout that appear on the PDF pages. Common metadata can include the document title, author name, subject, keywords, creation date, modification date, and other file information.
Use the PDF metadata editor to update PDF document properties directly from your browser. You can change existing properties without installing separate desktop software.
You are not limited to the standard PDF metadata fields. Add new fields to your PDF and enter your own field name and value when you need to store additional document information.
Delete all properties with just one click instead of removing each field one by one.
Edit PDF metadata on Mac, Windows, Linux, tablets, and mobile devices using a supported web browser. You can update PDF properties from a desktop computer or another device.
Editing metadata does not change the visible text, images, formatting, or page layout of your document. It only updates the information stored in the PDF file properties.

Change an incorrect or automatically generated PDF title to make the document easier to organize and recognize in PDF readers.

Change date information stored in the PDF metadata when the existing value needs to be corrected or updated.

Update the author information stored in the PDF properties. This can be useful when the original author needs to reflect a person, business, or organization.

Add new fields when the standard PDF properties are not enough. Enter your own metadata field name and assign any relevant value to create custom document-management workflows.

Clear all metadata from your PDF file with one click instead of tediously deleting one field at a time.
Accurate metadata makes documents easier to identify organize, and search. Removing unnecessary metadata makes sharing safer
PDFs sometimes contain incorrect titles, dates, or other properties. Editing the metadata lets you correct this information without changing the content itself.
Accurate titles, subjects, keywords, and custom fields can make files easier to identify and organize, especially when managing a large collection of PDFs.
Before publishing reports, ebooks, research documents, manuals, or other PDFs, you may want to review the document properties and replace outdated or incorrect information.
Descriptive metadata can improve the searchability of your documents in file systems, document-management platforms, archives, and other systems that use metadata to organize or locate files.
