Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about this tool
You can edit all standard XMP and DocInfo metadata: Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator (authoring tool), Producer (PDF library), and Created / Modified dates. Custom XMP properties are preserved as-is.
No — metadata is stored in a separate section of the PDF. Changing it has no effect on page content, fonts, images, or file structure. The output is identical to the source except for the fields you changed.
Many PDFs inherit metadata from the application used to create them. For example, Word exports the document author and filename as the PDF title. Our tool lets you correct these programmatically-set values.
Yes — click 'Clear all fields' to empty every metadata field in one go. The output PDF will have no identifying metadata, which is useful before sharing documents externally.
No — this tool only edits the visible metadata fields (Title, Author, etc.). For removing hidden revision history, comments, or embedded document properties from Word/Excel sources, use our Sanitize PDF tool.
