Frequently Asked Questions
Get instant answers to common questions about our PDF Metadata tool.
Is it safe to upload my documents to edit their metadata?
Yes, it is 100% safe. Your privacy is our top priority. The entire process happens locally in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to our servers, ensuring your data remains completely private.
Will editing the metadata change the visual content of my PDF?
No, editing metadata only changes the document's properties (like Author, Title, etc.). It does not alter the visible text, images, or layout of your PDF pages in any way.
Can I see the existing metadata before I make changes?
Absolutely. When you upload your PDF, the tool automatically reads all existing metadata and populates the input fields for you. This allows you to see what's already there before you decide to edit it.
What are custom metadata fields used for?
Custom metadata fields allow you to add your own specific information that isn't covered by standard fields. For example, you could add a "Project-ID", "Client-Name", "Document-Status", or "Version-Number" for better internal tracking and organization.
What happens to my file after I'm done?
Since your file is never uploaded, it remains on your computer. The new PDF with updated metadata is generated in your browser, and you download a copy. We never see, access, or store your original or modified files.
