View and Edit PDF Metadata

Every PDF contains hidden information called 'Metadata'—details like the Title, Author, Creation Date, and Software used to create it. PlatinumPDF PDF Metadata Editor lets you see this hidden data and change or remove it. This is essential for fixing incorrect document titles that show up in browser tabs or scrubbing personal names before sharing.

Real-World Scenarios

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this change the content?

No, editing metadata only changes the 'properties' of the file, not the visible text or images on the pages.

Can I bulk edit files?

Currently we process one file at a time to ensure accuracy.

Why can't I see the changes in my file explorer?

File explorers (Finder/Explorer) sometimes cache old metadata. Open the file in a PDF Viewer (like Acrobat or Chrome) to see the updated properties.
