How to Change the Title, Author and Keywords of a PDF

Open the tool →

Every PDF carries hidden details. A file made from a template may still show an old title or the name of a previous author. Document Properties lets you check and change these details before you share the file.

Change the properties, step by step

Open Document Properties and choose your PDF.
Read the file details: page count, size and the current properties.
Edit the title, author, subject, keywords or creator.
Save the PDF to download a copy with the new properties.

What each field is for

Title: shown by browsers and PDF readers in place of the file name.
Author: who made the document. Clear it to remove an old name.
Subject: what the document is about.
Keywords: words separated by commas, to help search and filing.

Frequently asked questions

Do the pages change?

No. Only the hidden properties change. The pages look exactly the same.

Will the title show in Google search?

Search engines can use the PDF title when they show a PDF from a website, so a clear title helps.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The properties are changed inside your browser.
