Frequently asked questions

What PDF metadata can I change?

Common fields include title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, and creation or modification dates when the source permits updates.

Does metadata editing change visible page content?

No. Metadata is document-level information. It does not rewrite the visible page content unless you choose another editing or sanitization operation.

How do I remove metadata completely?

Use the sanitize workflow to strip private metadata and related embedded content according to the selected cleanup policy.
