Frequently Asked Questions

Which metadata fields can I edit?

You can view and edit the title, author, subject, and keywords stored in the PDF.

Can I see the current metadata before changing it?

Yes. The existing values are read from the file and shown to you first, so you can edit just the fields you want to change.

How do I remove a metadata field entirely?

Leave the field blank before saving. An empty field clears that piece of metadata from the file.

Can I edit metadata for multiple PDFs at once?

Yes. Upload several files, apply the same values, and each one is updated and returned together in a single zip download.

Does editing metadata change the visible content of the PDF?

No. Metadata is separate from the page content. Only the document properties change, not what's displayed on the pages.

Can I edit custom or advanced metadata fields, like XMP data?

Not currently. This tool covers the four standard fields: title, author, subject, and keywords.

Is it safe to upload confidential documents?

Yes. All uploads happen over an encrypted connection, and both the source file and the updated PDF are automatically deleted from our servers after processing.

Is editing PDF metadata really free?

Yes. There is no cost, no subscription, and no account required.
