Why Edit PDF Metadata?

• SEO: Search engines use PDF titles and descriptions in search results
• Privacy: Remove author names or software info from sensitive documents

Common Scenarios

Remove Personal Information

Before sharing a PDF externally, strip the author name, creator software, and modification dates to protect privacy.

Fix Incorrect Titles

Many PDFs have meaningless titles like "Untitled" or "Microsoft Word - Document1.docx". Set a proper title that displays correctly in browsers and search results.

Add Keywords for Search

Adding relevant keywords helps document management systems and search engines index your PDF correctly.
