How to Use PDF Metadata Editor in 3 Steps
Drop a PDF
The form fills with whatever the file currently stores — title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer and both dates.
Edit or Clear
Change any field, or press Clear all fields to blank everything (handy before sharing). Dates use your local time zone.
Save & Download
Click Save Metadata. Page content is untouched; only the document information dictionary (and the XMP block, if the option is on) changes.
PDF Metadata Editor — Frequently Asked Questions
My viewer still shows the old title — why?
Some viewers prefer the XMP metadata stream over the classic Info dictionary. Leave "Remove the XMP metadata stream" on so the new values win; the file's pages and text are unaffected.
Does this change the file content or quality?
No. Only the document information is rewritten; pages, fonts and images are saved exactly as they were.
Can I remove metadata completely?
Press Clear all fields and save. For a one-click wipe (including XMP) use PDF Metadata Remover, which does exactly that.
Which date format is used?
You pick dates with the browser's native picker in your local time zone; they are stored in the PDF's standard D:YYYYMMDDHHmmSS form with the time-zone offset.
The tool says my PDF is encrypted — what now?
Password-protected PDFs must be opened with their password before they can be edited. Run them through Unlock PDF first, then come back.
