About this Edit PDF Metadata workflow

What it does

View and edit PDF metadata — title, author, subject, keywords — and strip identifying details before sharing. Free and browser-based.

Processing model

This focused tool processes the selected document in your browser. The source file is not overwritten.

Good practice

Keep the original file and inspect the downloaded result before replacing an archival, signed, submitted or legally important copy.

How Edit PDF Metadata works in FileCarpenter

View and edit PDF metadata — title, author, subject, keywords — and strip identifying details before sharing. Free and browser-based.

The focused PDF Tools workspace is designed for a single job at a time. It does not require an account and does not add a FileCarpenter watermark to the downloaded result.

Good to know

Why does this matter?

PDFs quietly carry the author name, the software that made them and often a file path. That travels with the document when you share it.

Does this remove everything identifying?

It clears the standard document fields. It does not remove text inside the page content, embedded thumbnails, or XMP metadata written by some tools.
