Edit Metadata
Change a PDF's title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer and dates.
About this tool
Edit Metadata lets you set the document properties stored inside a PDF: title, author, subject, keywords, creating application, producer and the creation and modification dates. The fields are pre-filled with the current values.
A good title is what browsers and PDF readers show in their window bar and what search engines display for published PDFs, so it's worth getting right. Keywords help desktop search and document management systems find files.
Thai text is fully supported. The outdated XMP copy of the metadata is removed so every reader shows your new values. Nothing is uploaded.
