View and Edit PDF Metadata — Clean Up Your Documents

Every PDF carries hidden information you cannot see just by opening it. The pdf title, pdf author, subject, keywords, creation date, software used to create it — all of this is stored in the metadata. Sometimes this information is wrong, incomplete, or even contains sensitive details you do not want to share.

Imagine sharing a PDF proposal with a client and the metadata shows it was created by a competitor's software, or lists a previous author's name from a template you reused. These details matter. Tooliby's pdf metadata editor lets you view and edit all of this information — and even strip it out completely if you prefer a clean document.

Why PDF Metadata Matters for SEO and Professionalism

If you publish PDFs on your website, Google reads the pdf title and pdf author fields when indexing the document. A properly filled title helps the PDF rank better in search results. It also shows up in the browser tab when someone opens the PDF — a blank title looks unprofessional compared to a well-named document.

For businesses, keeping pdf properties consistent across all documents — same company name as author, proper descriptive titles, relevant keywords — creates a more professional image and improves document management across teams.

What Metadata Can You Edit?

Our tool lets you view and edit the four most important metadata fields: Title (shown in browser tabs and search results), Author (creator name or company), Subject (brief description of the document), and Keywords (comma-separated terms for search indexing). You can also choose to remove all metadata entirely for maximum privacy before sharing sensitive documents.
