          About This PDF Metadata Editor

          PDF Metadata Editor Online is a lightweight, privacy-first console designed for documentation teams, publishers, and compliance leads who need reliable control over document tags. Every action runs locally in your browser using Edge-optimized parsing, so sensitive files never leave your device. Competitive tools often hide full metadata or require an upload queue; here you see the entire audit trail instantly. With exportable change logs, shareable permalink states, and a clean Kadence-inspired layout, the workflow stays focused, fast, and accessible on any screen.

          How to Use the Tool

          1. Select or drag a PDF into the upload panel. The tool extracts existing metadata and flags fields that are empty or outdated.
          2. Update title, author, subject, keywords, producer, creator, and ISO-compliant date stamps using the responsive form. Use the insights panel to tighten SEO language where needed.
          3. Click "Update Metadata & Download" to generate a fresh PDF layer with your changes applied. All revisions happen locally, so you keep full custody of your documents.
          4. Optional: export a CSV audit, copy a JSON snapshot for version control, or create a shareable permalink that stores your metadata plan for team approvals.

          Pro Tips for Better Document SEO

          • Keep titles under 70 characters and align them with the primary search query you target on landing pages.
          • List at least five keywords separated by commas, mixing branded terms with thematic variants for richer discovery.
          • Match creation dates to the original publication moment and use modification dates to signal updates to search engines.
          • Populate Producer and Creator with your automation stack, helping legal and knowledge teams trace document custody.

          Frequently Asked Questions

          Is my PDF uploaded or stored anywhere?

          No. Processing happens entirely in-browser using client-side scripts. Once you close the tab, nothing is retained and your PDFs remain private on your device.

          Can I update the creation and modification dates?

          Yes. Enter precise timestamps in the date pickers and the tool writes standards-compliant PDF date strings so downstream systems accept the update.

          What makes this tool different from competitors?

          Beyond rapid offline editing, you get live SEO insights, CSV and JSON exports, and shareable permalink states for collaborative QA — features missing from most upload-only editors.
