FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything about editing PDF metadata properties with PDFNEO.

How do I edit PDF metadata for free?
Drop your PDF above, change any of the fields (Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator, Producer), and click Save metadata to download the modified PDF. It is free with no sign-up or watermark.
Does it read existing metadata?
Yes. As soon as you load your PDF, the tool reads the current metadata from the file and fills out the fields so you only need to edit what you want to change.
Does editing metadata modify the page content?
No. It only updates the hidden document information header. Your texts, images, signatures, and page layouts are completely untouched and keep full quality.
Will the PDF lose quality?
No. The page streams are copied over exactly as-is. There is no re-compression, so formatting and images stay at 100% quality.
Can I use this tool on my phone?
Yes. The form is fully responsive and works on mobile Chrome, Safari, and other modern browsers.
