Frequently asked questions

What is PDF metadata?+

It is the document information dictionary — fields like Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator and Producer. Viewers use the Title for the window/tab name, and search tools index the keywords.

Why does my PDF show the wrong title?+

Many viewers display the metadata Title rather than the filename. If it was generated from a template, the old title sticks. Edit the Title field here to fix it.

Is my PDF uploaded?+

No — metadata is read and rewritten locally with pdf-lib; the file stays on your device.

Does editing metadata change the content?+

No. Only the information dictionary changes; the pages, text and images are untouched.
