PDF Metadata Editor Tutorial

Why edit PDF metadata?

Every PDF carries an Info dictionary with title, author, subject, keywords, and tool fingerprints (Creator/Producer). When you share a PDF with a client, this metadata travels with it.

  • Privacy: Strip your name from a PDF before sharing externally
  • SEO: Set a real title and keywords so the PDF ranks in search results
  • Whitelabel: Replace "Microsoft Word" producer with your tool's branding
  • Forensics protection: Avoid revealing what tool/version converted the PDF

How does it work?

This tool reads the PDF's Info dictionary and lets you edit the standard fields. The PDF content itself (pages, fonts, images, annotations) is preserved unchanged. Only the /Info trailer dictionary is rewritten. Password-protected PDFs are not supported — you must remove encryption first.

Editable fields

  • Title — Document title shown in viewers
  • Author — Document author
  • Subject — Subject line
  • Keywords — Comma-separated keywords (helps search)
  • Creator — Application that created the original (e.g. "Microsoft Word")
  • Producer — Tool that wrote the PDF (e.g. "Adobe Acrobat")
  • CreationDate, ModDate — ISO 8601 (e.g. 2023-05-12T10:00:00Z) or PDF format (D:20230512100000Z)

Leave a field blank to remove it entirely. Page count and PDF version are not editable — they reflect the document content.
