PDF Metadata Editor
100% PrivatePDF & Document ToolsView and edit the title, author, subject and keywords stored inside a PDF.
Runs entirely in your browser. Your input is not uploaded to Ovatly or anywhere else.
- 1Choose the PDF; its current title, author, subject and keywords load automatically.
- 2Edit the fields. Clearing a field removes that detail from the saved file.
- 3Check the read-only facts (creator program, producer, dates) if you need them.
- 4Press Save PDF with new details and download the updated file.
A report saved from a scanner shows no title and the author field holds a scanner model name. Open it here, set the title to Quarterly Sales Report, the author to your name, and keywords to sales, quarterly. The saved PDF shows those details in any reader's document properties, with the pages themselves unchanged.
- Only the information fields change; page content, layout and quality are copied untouched.
- Some readers also show the file name, which this tool cannot change; rename the downloaded file on your device if needed.
- Password-protected PDFs can be viewed here but must have the password removed before an edited copy can be saved.
In most PDF readers under document properties, and in file managers and search results that read PDF metadata.
About this tool
PDF Metadata Editor shows and edits the details stored inside a PDF: its title, author, subject and keywords. These details are what readers, search tools and document managers display, so fixing a wrong title or a leftover author name makes a file far easier to identify and archive.
