How to edit PDF metadata
View and update the document information stored inside a PDF, including its title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, and document dates.
Add your PDF
Select one PDF from your device. Fylento reads the metadata already stored in the document.
Update the fields
Edit the document details you want to change, reset them to the original values, or clear the metadata fields.
Save a new PDF
Fylento writes the updated document information into a new PDF and downloads the edited copy.
PDF metadata you can edit
The current tool reads and writes the standard document-information fields supported by the PDF library used by Fylento.
Title
Change the document title stored inside the PDF.
Author
Update the author name associated with the document.
Subject
Add or change the PDF subject or description.
Keywords
Enter comma-separated keywords. Fylento trims them and stores them as individual PDF keywords.
Creator
Update the application or creator information stored in the PDF.
Producer
Change the producer field stored in the document metadata.
Creation date
View or update the PDF creation date when a valid date is provided.
Modification date
View or update the PDF modification date when a valid date is provided.
Reset or clear document information
Fylento keeps a copy of the metadata it read when the PDF was opened so you can restore those original values before saving.
Reset to original
Restore the metadata values that were present when you first loaded the PDF.
Clear metadata fields
Clear the editable title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, and date inputs before saving the new document.
Editing metadata does not rewrite the visible PDF pages
Metadata is document information stored alongside the PDF page content. Updating it does not intentionally change the visible text, images, layout, or page order.
Page content stays intact
The tool loads the original PDF, changes its metadata fields, and saves a new copy rather than converting its pages into images.
Metadata is not the same as visible content
Removing a name from the Author field does not remove that name if it is visibly printed inside the PDF pages.
Edit PDF metadata privately in your browser
Reading and saving the metadata happens on your device. The PDF does not need to be uploaded to a remote metadata-editing service.
Local metadata reading
Fylento reads the document information directly from the PDF in your browser.
Local PDF output
The updated PDF is generated locally and downloaded directly to your device.
Common reasons to update PDF metadata
Edit PDF Metadata FAQ
Which PDF metadata fields can I change?
You can edit the title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, creation date, and modification date.
Can I clear the metadata?
Yes. The Clear action empties the editable metadata inputs before you save the new PDF.
Does changing metadata alter the visible PDF pages?
No. The metadata fields are separate from the visible page content, so the tool does not intentionally change the document's visible text, images, or layout.
Does clearing the Author field remove a visible author name from the page?
No. It only changes the PDF's metadata. Visible text printed on the page is separate content.
Does Fylento upload my PDF?
No. The current Edit PDF Metadata tool processes the document locally in your browser.
