About the PDF Metadata Editor

PDF Metadata Editor reads and changes five common document properties: title, author, subject, creator, and comma-separated keywords. Existing pages are retained without rasterization.

Save Metadata Copy applies the displayed values, while Remove Supported Metadata clears those five fields in a separate file. The original PDF remains unchanged.

Clearing these properties is not complete anonymization. Printed content, annotations, embedded files, revision data, and other document internals may still reveal information.
