How to Edit PDF Metadata
Editing PDF metadata allows you to add or modify important document information such as title, author, subject, creator, and keywords. This information helps with document organization, searchability, and ensures recipients see accurate details about your PDF. Follow these simple steps:
- Upload Your PDF: Click the 'Select PDF file' button or drag and drop your file into the designated area.
- Edit Metadata Fields: Modify any of the available fields such as title, author, subject, creator, or keywords. You can also add new information to empty fields.
- Save and Download: Click the 'Update Metadata' button. The tool will process your file and create a new PDF with the updated metadata for download.
Why Edit PDF Metadata?
- Better Organization: Proper metadata helps you and others organize and find documents more easily in file systems and document management systems.
- Professional Appearance: Well-defined metadata makes your PDFs look more professional and provides clear information about the document.
- Search Optimization: Keywords and proper titles improve document discoverability in search engines and document databases.
- Document Tracking: Author and creation information helps track document ownership and version history.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- What metadata fields can I edit in a PDF?
- You can edit common fields such as Title, Author, Subject, Creator, and Keywords. Some PDFs may include additional custom metadata fields which our editor will surface when available.
- Will editing metadata change the visible content of the PDF?
- No — changing metadata updates only the document properties (information stored in the PDF header) and does not alter visible pages, text, or images inside the PDF itself.
- Is my uploaded PDF file kept private?
- Files are processed briefly on the server to apply metadata changes and are deleted after the operation completes. For highly sensitive documents, we recommend using an offline tool or ensuring you have appropriate data-handling policies in place.
- Can I add multiple keywords or tags?
- Yes — you can enter multiple keywords separated by commas. Keywords help search engines and document management systems find and categorize your file.
