Review and edit PDF title, author, subject, and keyword fields.
Tool code processes selected files and entered content in your browser and does not submit them to a TOOLGRID processing endpoint. TOOLGRID measures tool usage, not the content you enter.

Browser-basedWhat this tool does
Read common document metadata from a PDF, change selected fields, and download a rewritten copy without sending the file to a TOOLGRID processing endpoint.
Removing these fields is not a complete forensic scrub; PDFs can contain other identifiers, attachments, annotations, and embedded object metadata.
What you can do with this tool
Set the report title, authoring organization, subject, and search keywords.
What to check before relying on the result
- This is not a complete metadata scrub or secure redaction tool.
- Rewriting a signed PDF invalidates its existing digital signature.

The tool does not intentionally alter page content, but rewriting can change internal structure and signatures.
Can it edit encrypted PDFs?
PDFs that require a password to open are not supported.
