What is Edit Metadata?
PDF metadata — title, author, subject, keywords, creator, and creation date — is embedded invisibly in the file and can expose information you don't intend to share. PDFStream's metadata editor lets you view and edit all fields.
Read the current metadata to audit what's embedded. Edit or clear any field: remove the author name before publishing externally, update the title to match the current document version, add keywords for search indexing, or clear the creation date for privacy.
Use cases: sanitizing metadata before sharing a document externally, updating a title and author after revising a document, adding keywords for a document management system, or removing personally identifying information from PDF properties.
