Common questions
Which metadata fields can I edit?
The current editor supports PDF title, author, subject and keywords.
Does this remove all hidden PDF data?
No. Edit Metadata changes selected document-information fields. Use Deep Sanitize when you need to remove a wider range of metadata, attachments, forms, annotations, scripts and hidden text layers.
Is the PDF uploaded to edit metadata?
The metadata editing workflow runs locally in your browser.
Should I overwrite my only copy?
Keep the original separately until you have confirmed the metadata and visible document content in the updated file.
