Frequently Asked Questions

Does changing metadata affect the actual document content or pages?

No, metadata editing only modifies properties like title, author, and keywords. All pages, text, images, and formatting remain completely unchanged.

Can I completely remove all metadata to protect privacy?

Yes, you can clear any or all metadata fields including author name, creation date, and keywords to remove identifying information.

What metadata fields can I edit in a PDF?

You can edit title, author, subject, keywords, creator application, producer, creation date, and modification date. Some PDFs may have additional custom metadata fields.

Will edited metadata be visible when someone opens my PDF?

Yes, anyone can view PDF metadata through "Document Properties" or "File Info" in most PDF readers. This is how PDFs display titles and authors.
