PDF metadata viewer & editor

Every PDF carries hidden document properties: a title, an author, a subject, keywords, and the application that created it. They show up in search results, in the browser tab title, in file managers, and in Acrobat's Document Properties dialog - and they are often wrong, embarrassing, or revealing. A report exported from a template still titled 'Untitled spreadsheet'. A CV whose author field names someone else. A confidential document stamped with a personal account name.

Use the PDF metadata viewer to check the six supported document properties. You can read them without saving, or edit the fields and download an updated copy.

The author field is the property people most often need to fix. A PDF exported on a work laptop shows the company account, a shared template still names whoever made it first, or a CV carries a previous employer's name. To change the PDF author name, choose your file, type the new name into the Author field - or empty it to remove the name - and click Save & download.

The same form works as a simple PDF properties editor for the title, subject, keywords, creator, and producer, so you can correct every document property in one pass before you send the file.

PDFs store metadata in two places: the classic Info dictionary and a newer XMP metadata stream. Many online editors only update the first one - and then Acrobat keeps showing the old values from the XMP data, so your edit silently didn't happen.

This tool updates the document properties and removes the stale XMP stream in the same pass, so every viewer - Acrobat included - shows the values you set.

Choose your PDF, clear the properties you want to remove, then click Save & download. You can empty all six fields to clear their values together. Saving also removes the document's XMP metadata stream, which can contain older versions of these properties. Other data, such as dates, custom properties, and annotations, is outside this tool's cleanup scope.

This tool runs entirely in your browser: the PDF is never uploaded, stored, or seen by a server. Free, no watermark, no sign up.
