How to do it

  1. 1

    Add your file

    Add the PDF whose stored information you want to change — its title, author, subject or keywords.

  2. 2

    Set it up the way you want

    Fill in the fields. Leaving one empty clears it, which is often exactly what you want before sending a file out.

  3. 3

    Download the result

    Download the document. The new information travels with the file, wherever it goes afterwards.

Questions about Edit PDF Info

Where does this information actually show up?
In the reader’s window title, in file listings, in search results, and in any system that catalogues documents. It is why a downloaded file so often shows a title like "Microsoft Word - final draft 3" instead of the report’s real name — that string is stored inside, and this is where it gets fixed.
Is this enough to anonymise a document?
No. This edits the fields you can see; a PDF also carries producer strings, timestamps and sometimes an XMP block, and a scan may hold camera details inside its images. For anonymising before submission, use Remove metadata, which is built for that job.
Why do keywords matter?
Because document management systems and desktop search read them, and most files have none. In an archive of thousands of PDFs, keywords are often the only thing that makes a document findable by anything other than its filename.
