Why change PDF metadata
PDF properties often carry leftovers: Document1 instead of a title, the name of an employee who left long ago, or Microsoft Word as the title. Recipients, search engines and document management systems all see those fields. The tool reads the current metadata right in your browser, lets you fix the title, author, subject, keywords and application details, and saves the file — without touching the page content.
How to edit metadata
- 1
Upload the PDF — the current properties appear in the fields.
- 2
Correct the title, author, subject, keywords, creator and producer.
- 3
Clear what should go — an empty field removes the value.
- 4
Click Save and download the file with its new properties.
What the tool does
Shows what is there
The fields are filled from the file straight away — you see exactly what the document stores.
Six fields
Title, author, subject, keywords, creator application and producer.
Read in the browser
Properties are read on your device; the file goes to the server only to be saved.
Content untouched
Pages, text, fonts and links stay exactly as they were.
XMP check
The tool shows whether the file holds extended XMP metadata that may duplicate the properties.
Any alphabet
Titles and names in Cyrillic or other scripts are saved correctly and read by every viewer.
No sign-up
Works right away; no account needed.
Files are not kept
The source and the result are deleted from the server automatically after an hour.
When you need it
File properties deserve a tidy-up before others see them:
- the title still says Document1 or the name of a template;
- the author is the wrong person or organisation;
- the document is published on a website and should show up properly in search;
- the file goes into a document management system with rules about properties;
- keywords are needed for searching an archive.
What each field means
Title is the document's name, shown in the browser tab and by viewers. Author is a person or organisation. Subject is what the document is about, in a phrase. Keywords are comma-separated, for search. Creator is the application the original was made in, Word for example. Producer is the application that generated the PDF itself. These six fields are what is called PDF metadata.
About XMP and duplicates
Besides the regular properties, a PDF may hold an XMP block — the same details in XML form, which some applications read first. The tool reports whether the file contains XMP; if no old values should remain anywhere, strip everything with Remove Metadata first and then fill in the fields you need here.
