How it works
Open the document properties
Select your PDF and review its current properties.
Replace the selected fields
Edit the title, author, subject and comma-separated keywords.
Inspect the saved properties
Save the properties and inspect them in a PDF reader.
Edit metadata
Edit & sign
Change the title, author, subject and keywords stored in a PDF
Replace a stale client name in properties
A reusable report still displays an old client name in document properties. Replace title and author and inspect the final properties. Set the report title and author explicitly, clear creator/producer only if needed, and inspect visible headers separately.
✓ Check title, author and subject in a PDF reader, then separately inspect attachments and visible pages.Make it work for your document
Options after selecting a fileClear creator and producer
Enable the checkbox to clear those two software-identification fields.
Other hidden objects, custom metadata, comments and attachments require separate inspection.Frequently asked questions
The details, when you need them.
Will the visible title on the page change?
No. Metadata properties are separate from text drawn on the pages.
Does cleanup remove every hidden detail?
No. This tool edits common properties and clears selected fields; it is not a complete metadata sanitizer.
Make document properties useful
A descriptive title can be more helpful than a filename made of codes. Use the author field for the appropriate person or organization, and a short subject to describe the contents. These properties do not change the visible text on the PDF pages or guarantee how a search engine will display the document.
Metadata cleanup has limits
The extra cleanup option clears the creator and producer fields handled by this implementation. It is not a complete privacy scrub of all possible PDF metadata, embedded files, annotations or document history. Review sensitive documents using a broader inspection workflow before distributing them. Changing properties also does not redact names printed on pages.
Properties are not complete sanitization
These fields do not sanitize all hidden data, attachments, annotations or visible author names. PDF keywords are not webpage SEO keywords.
An old author name remains visible
Page text and other PDF objects are independent of the document properties fields. Inspect visible pages, comments and attachments separately; metadata editing is not sanitization.
