When to use this tool

Enter the supported title, author, subject and keyword values, then export an updated document.

A practical example

Set a descriptive title on a report before distribution and remove an obsolete author value where appropriate.

Check the exported result

Open document properties in a PDF viewer and verify the fields you intended to change.

Common problems and limits

Editing selected metadata fields is not a complete privacy scrub of attachments, hidden content, XMP or historical identifiers.

Choose the next step

Redact PDF addresses selected page content, while metadata needs its own review.

Files, privacy and saving

This workflow uses temporary server processing after your consent. Review the upload notice and avoid processing material you are not authorised to use. Keep your original, review the downloaded result and choose a clear filename before sharing it. The privacy policy explains the processing approach.
