Questions
Frequently asked
What is PDF metadata?
It is information stored inside the file about the document, such as its title, author, subject, keywords, the app that made it, and when it was created and last changed.
Why change the title of a PDF?
Many PDF viewers and search engines show the metadata title instead of the file name, so a clear title makes your document easier to recognize and find.
Does editing metadata change the pages?
No. Only the document properties change. Text, images and layout stay exactly as they were.
Can I edit the metadata of a protected PDF?
Not while it is encrypted. Remove the protection with Unlock PDF first, then edit the metadata.
Can I edit PDF metadata on my phone?
Yes. CrestPDF works in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android, with nothing to install.
Is Edit PDF Metadata free?
Yes. It is free to use, with no sign-up and no watermarks added to your files.
