What is PDF Metadata?

PDF metadata is information stored inside a PDF file that describes the document. It is not visible in the document content itself but can be read by PDF readers, search engines, and document management systems.

Title

The document title, shown in browser tabs and PDF reader title bars.

Author

The name of the person or organization who created the document.

Subject

A brief description of the document's subject matter.

Keywords

Comma-separated keywords that help search engines and document managers find the file.

Creator

The application that originally created the document (e.g., Microsoft Word).

Producer

The software that converted the document to PDF format.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I want to edit PDF metadata?

Editing metadata helps with document organization, searchability, and professionalism. You might want to add your name as author, set a proper title, or add keywords to make the document easier to find.

Can I remove the Producer field that shows the PDF software?

Yes. Clear the Producer field and save. The tool will remove the producer information from the PDF's Info dictionary.

Will editing metadata change the PDF content?

No. Metadata is stored separately from the document content. Editing metadata does not affect the text, images, or layout of the PDF.

Is my PDF safe when I use this tool?

Yes. All processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your PDF is never uploaded to any server and never leaves your device.
