{# canonical_base is the OWNING tenant's origin: all 16 Peasy domains serve the same catalogue, so a page rendered by a non-owner points its canonical at the owner instead of competing with it. Falls back to this site for static/self-owned pages. #}

About Edit PDF Metadata

View, edit, or strip metadata from PDF files. Change the title, author, subject, and keywords, or remove all metadata for privacy. Useful for cleaning up documents before sharing.

How It Works

The tool uses pdf-lib to read and modify PDF document info fields. In edit mode, you can set new values for title, author, subject, and keywords. In strip mode, all metadata fields are cleared and timestamps are removed.

Step by Step

  1. 1 Upload a PDF file
  2. 2 Choose Edit mode to modify fields, or Strip mode to remove all metadata
  3. 3 In Edit mode, fill in the fields you want to change
  4. 4 Click Update Metadata and download the result

Tips

  • Strip mode is great for removing personal info before sharing documents.
  • Title and Author are the most commonly used metadata fields.
  • Leave fields empty in Edit mode to clear them individually.
  • Keywords help with document search and organization.

Frequently Asked Questions

What metadata does this tool handle?
Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, and Creator. These are the standard PDF info dictionary fields.
Does stripping metadata reduce file size?
Slightly. Metadata is usually a small portion of the file, so size reduction is minimal.
