Frequently asked questions

What PDF properties can I edit?

Set title, author, subject, keywords and creator. The underlying PDF engine can also set producer data, but the form does not expose a producer field.

Does a blank input delete the old value?

No. Blank fields remain unchanged; enable Clear other metadata fields for additional cleanup.

Does changing metadata change visible text?

No. It updates document properties, not words printed on PDF pages.

Can metadata still appear elsewhere?

Yes. Visible text, attachments and application-specific data are separate; use Remove PDF Metadata to clear the standard info and XMP fields.

How large can the PDF be?

Guests can upload files up to 25 MB each. A free account raises the limit to 50 MB per file, and Premium allows 500 MB per file with larger batches.
