Metadata travels with the file and is trivial to read. A PDF exported from a template often still names the template, its author, and the software that made it.

The same PDF with Title set to “Q3 Partnership Proposal”, Author corrected, and Creator and Producer cleared.Every PDF carries hidden metadata: title, author, subject, keywords, which application created it, and creation/modification timestamps. It leaks more than people expect — an author field with a personal name, a creator field revealing internal tooling, a timestamp contradicting a stated date. It also matters constructively: search engines, document-management systems, and screen readers use the title field.
Edit PDF Metadata reads all of these fields into an editable form. Fix a wrong title, set a proper author for indexing, add keywords for your DMS, correct dates, or click "Clear all fields" to strip the identifying values before a document leaves your hands.
The tool is explicit about scope: this edits the document information dictionary. It does not remove hidden text layers, annotations, attachments, or earlier revisions — full sanitization needs a dedicated redaction workflow.
Drop a PDF into the tool — its current metadata loads into the form.
Edit any field: title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, or the two dates.
Or click "Clear all fields" to blank the text fields before sharing.
Click Save metadata and download the updated file.
Set a proper title so the browser tab and DMS show something useful
Edits the document information dictionary only — hidden content, annotations, attachments, embedded files, XMP metadata packets, and revision history are not removed. Some PDF viewers cache metadata display until the file is reopened.
Drop the file here — the form immediately shows its title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, and dates. That's also a quick way to audit a document you received.
It removes the standard information fields, which is where names usually live — but it does not remove hidden text, annotations, attachments, embedded files, or revision history. For documents needing true sanitization, use a dedicated redaction tool as well.
The title field is what search engines, browser tabs, and screen readers announce; author and keywords drive document-management search. For published documents, good metadata is an accessibility and findability feature.
