How to edit PDF properties

Drop your PDF in the box. The details it has appear in the boxes. Change what you want, or press Clear all details to empty every box, then press Save details.

Common mistakes

  • Thinking an empty box keeps the old value: empty boxes are removed from the file.
  • Opening a PDF with a password: remove the password first, the tool cannot open it.

Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The details are read and changed in your browser and the new PDF is saved to your device.
What are PDF details?
Hidden information stored in the file: the title, who made it, the program that made it and the dates. They show up in file properties and search results.
Why remove them?
Before sharing a file you may not want to show your name, your company or the program you used. "Clear all details" removes them.
What if a field is empty?
An empty field is removed from the file. Fill it in to keep or set a value.
Why would I clear the details of a PDF?
The author, program and dates can show who made a file and when. Clearing them before you share a file keeps that private.
