Frequently Asked Questions

What is PDF Metadata?

PDF Metadata refers to hidden properties embedded within the file structure. These usually include the document Title, Author (the name of the person or computer that created it), Subject, Keywords, and the software (Producer/Creator) used to generate the file.

Are my PDFs uploaded to your servers to edit metadata?

No. Our tool utilizes advanced client-side processing. The PDF structure is parsed and edited entirely within your web browser. No files are ever uploaded, ensuring complete privacy.

How can I remove all metadata from my PDF?

Simply upload your PDF to the tool, and click the 'Clear All' button located at the top right of the Properties Editor. This will instantly wipe the Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator, and Producer fields.

Will editing metadata change the visual layout of my PDF?

No. Metadata is stored in a separate dictionary within the PDF file structure. Modifying it will not affect the text, images, or layout of your actual document.
