About PDF Metadata Editor
Edit common PDF document metadata such as title, author, subject, keywords, creator and producer in a browser-based workflow.
Metadata can help document management systems and readers identify a PDF, but metadata is only one layer of document information. Removing or changing these fields does not guarantee that embedded images, attachments or other content contain no identifying data. The editor rewrites the document information dictionary (title, author, subject, keywords) and the XMP metadata packet when present. Changing metadata does not alter page content, so it is safe to run on finished documents. PDF structure, page order, text layers, embedded media and output quality can affect the result. Check page count, page order, readable text, important numbers and the final downloaded file before sharing it.
Primary objective: Reads and edits common document-level PDF metadata fields including title, author, subject, keywords, creator and producer.
Privacy assurance: This PDF operation is performed in the browser from the file you select; the workflow does not require uploading the document to ExpTool.

Frequently Asked Questions
What metadata can I edit?
The workflow exposes title, author, subject, keywords, creator and producer fields.
Does clearing metadata remove all private information?
No. Document metadata is only one source of identifying information; embedded content can contain additional data.
Is the original PDF changed?
No. The edited metadata is saved into a new generated PDF.
Will editing metadata affect how the PDF looks?
No. Metadata is invisible document information; pages, fonts, and layout are untouched.
Can metadata reveal information I want private?
Yes — author names, software versions, and creation dates are common leaks. Clearing the fields is good hygiene before publishing.
Does this remove hidden revision history?
It updates the declared metadata, but it does not sanitize embedded objects or incremental-update remnants. For high-sensitivity files, export a fresh PDF instead.
