How to pdf metadata
- Drop the PDF.
- Type the properties you want to set.
- Press Save and download.
What happens to your file
Only the document information — the four fields readers show under Properties — is rewritten. Pages, text, bookmarks and form fields are not touched.
A field you leave empty keeps whatever the file already has; creation and modification dates and the producer are left as they are.
Questions
Why does the title matter?
Readers show it in the window and tab instead of the filename, search engines use it as the result’s heading, and screen readers announce it. A PDF exported from Word often carries the wrong one.
Does this remove hidden personal data?
No — it sets the visible properties. Comments, annotation authors and XMP metadata are not changed.
Do it once, not on every form
Fixing a file here means downloading it and going back to the form. The Fylane extension does this work inside the form instead, on the file you already have.
And it keeps the result. The next application that asks for a résumé, a cover letter and a photo fills all three from one tap, each one refitted to what that site accepts.
Your files stay in the browser, encrypted, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to keep them and nothing is sent anywhere to fill a form.
