Edit PDF Metadata Free

Use Edit PDF Metadata when a file has the wrong title, author name, subject, keywords, creator, or producer information before sharing or archiving.

Metadata edits help make public files, client documents, school work, and internal records easier to identify without changing the visible page content.

Common questions

What metadata can I edit?

Common fields include title, author, subject, keywords, creator, and producer where the PDF workflow can update them.

Does editing metadata change how pages look?

No. Metadata describes the file; it does not usually affect visible page appearance.

Should I use this or Remove Metadata?

Use Edit Metadata when you want useful fields. Use Remove Metadata when you want to clear common metadata and selected hidden surfaces.
