About Edit PDF Metadata

Every PDF carries hidden properties called metadata, such as the title, author, subject and keywords. Search engines, document managers and PDF viewers use this information, and it can also reveal details you may not want to share, like the name of the author or the software used.

Golden PDF lets you view and edit these properties and download an updated file. The edit is done in your browser and the file is not uploaded anywhere.

Common uses

Set a proper title so the document shows up well in viewers and search
Remove or change the author name before sharing a file
Add keywords and a subject to help organize a document library
Clean up properties inherited from a template

Tips for best results

A clear title is the most useful property, since many viewers show it instead of the file name.
Review author and creator fields before sending documents externally.
Save the edited file under a new name so the original remains available.
