- Current metadata is loaded into the fields.
- Edit any field — title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, dates.

Technical limitations
- Only the standard document information dictionary is edited. XMP metadata streams may retain older values.
- Date fields accept ISO 8601 format (e.g.,
2026-05-14T12:00:00Z) or plain dates. - Some reader apps cache metadata; you may need to close and reopen the file to see changes.
Frequently asked
What metadata exists in a PDF?
Common fields: title, author, subject, keywords, creator (app that made it), producer (library that wrote the PDF), and creation/modification dates.
Should I clear metadata before sharing?
Yes — author and creator fields often contain your computer username or real name. Clearing them is a good privacy step.
Does clearing metadata shrink the file?
Slightly, but not enough to matter. Use Compress PDF for real size reduction.
