Metadata

Change title, author, subject, and keywords before you share the file.
Edit PDF metadata is useful when you want file details to look intentional before publishing, emailing, or storing a document.
The tool focuses on common document-info fields rather than pretending to edit page content or embedded attachments.

Known limits
- Updates document-info fields only.
- Embedded content inside page artwork is not edited by this workflow.
Common questions

Does this edit the visible text inside PDF pages?
