View and Edit PDF Document Properties & Metadata
PDF documents contain embedded metadata properties including Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator application, and Producer tool. Before publishing research papers or legal filings, editing or stripping these properties is critical for privacy, compliance, and professional formatting.
TabKit PDF Metadata Editor reads and updates document info dictionaries locally. Modify title tags, update author credits, or clear legacy metadata completely without uploading sensitive PDF files to external servers.
By inspecting and updating metadata before distribution, you eliminate hidden author paths, software versions, and internal network usernames embedded in files by word processors.
