PDF Metadata Editor lets you view and change a document's properties, title, author, subject, keywords, creator, and producer, with indicators showing what you've changed and the option to reset to the originals.
Metadata is the hidden layer that affects how a PDF is labelled and found: in file managers, document systems, and search, and the title frequently appears in the browser tab when a PDF is viewed online. Setting it properly makes documents look professional and easier to organise and locate.
It's also a privacy consideration. Metadata can quietly carry the original author's name, the software used, or internal working titles you'd rather not publish, so reviewing and cleaning it before sharing a document publicly is good practice. Editing changes only these properties, never the visible content.
It runs in your browser, so your document, and its potentially sensitive metadata, stays on your device, with no watermark or limit. Pair it with the other ToolsMonk PDF tools to set metadata, then compress, merge, or protect the file.
