Edit PDF Metadata
Change a PDF’s title, author, subject and keywords, as shown in readers and search results. Free, on your device.
Edit PDF Metadata changes the document properties stored inside a PDF: the title shown in browser tabs and search results, the author, the subject, keywords, and the names of the programs that made it. Both places PDF readers look (the document information and the XMP metadata) are updated together, and the rest of the XMP, such as PDF/A identification, is kept. Leave a field empty to remove it.

Questions
Why does my PDF show the wrong title?
Readers show the title stored in the file, not the file name. Set it here.
How do I remove a property?
Clear the field. To remove all properties and hidden metadata at once, use Remove PDF Metadata.
Is the PDF’s content changed?
No. Only the properties and the modified date change.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. It’s processed on your device and never leaves it.
