The short version

What is PDF Metadata Editor?

PDF Metadata Editor is a free online tool that lets you view and modify the internal properties of any PDF document.

Every PDF carries hidden metadata including its title, author, subject, keywords, creator application, and creation date. This tool extracts all these properties, lets you edit them, and saves a new copy with your changes. Useful for organizing documents, fixing incorrect metadata, or adding SEO-friendly properties. Everything processes in your browser.
