Frequently Asked Questions

What is PDF metadata?

PDF metadata is hidden information embedded within your file, which typically includes details like the document Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator tool, and Creation Date.

Why should I edit my PDF metadata?

Editing metadata helps you organize your documents better, improves searchability (SEO for PDFs online), and allows you to remove sensitive or outdated information, such as the original author's name.

Can I remove all metadata from my PDF?

Yes. Simply delete the text from all the metadata fields provided and leave them blank. When you click Save, all those properties will be stripped from the document.

Are my files uploaded to a server to be edited?

No. ZentoPDF prioritizes your privacy. All metadata editing operations happen locally within your web browser using WebAssembly. Your files are never uploaded or stored on any server.

What are 'Custom Fields'?

Some PDF creation software adds extra non-standard metadata fields. The Custom Fields section allows you to discover, view, edit, or completely remove these hidden properties.
