Edit or remove PDF metadata

Author, title and hidden data

Up to 200 MB at a time. On a phone, large documents take longer and need more memory.

Editing only changes the metadata listed. Image copy mode removes hidden objects but loses searchable text and interactive features. Personal details visible on the page stay there.

Keep the original. Editing a PDF can invalidate a digital signature, and special features, forms and bookmarks may not carry over to the new file.

Your file stays on your device. No sign-up, no limits.

PDF metadata is the information about a file that doesn't show on the page: title, author, subject and keywords. Edit or delete it here. Sending a document outside the company and worried about hidden extras like comments, attachments or old text under a scan? Make an image copy instead. Only what's visible goes in.

How it works

Any field you leave empty is deleted from the document, and the XMP record is removed every time you save changes. The image copy is the stricter option. Its text isn't searchable and it has no links, but it carries none of the original's attachments or scripts either. Press “Save PDF” when you're ready.

Worked example

A quote was built from last year's template, so the file properties still say author “Mark, Sales 2025” and title “Delta proposal”. Before sending it to a new client, type the right title and your company name and leave the fields you don't need empty.

Questions people ask

How can I see who created a PDF?

Most PDF readers show it under document properties (Ctrl+D in Adobe Reader). You'll find the author, the program that made the file and the dates.

Does changing the author remove all hidden data?

No. Only the four fields listed are changed. For a thorough clean, choose the image copy.

Does the image copy also remove what's printed on the page?

No. A name or ID number that's visible on the page stays there. For that, use Redact a PDF.
