Frequently asked questions
Which fields can I edit?
Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, and Creator. The Producer field is set by whichever app originally wrote the PDF and is kept read-only to preserve provenance.
Does editing metadata change the pages themselves?
No. Pages and their content are copied as-is. Only the document-info dictionary is rewritten.
Why would I want to change metadata?
Cleaner file listings, better searchability in document managers, removing outdated author names before sharing, or matching company templates. Some e-reader apps also use Title and Author as the display name.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. Both the read and the rewrite happen entirely in your browser.
