What is PDF Metadata and Why Does It Matter?
Every PDF file contains hidden data called metadata. This includes information like the document's Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, and the software used to create it (Creator/Producer). While useful for organization, this data can often compromise privacy.
For example, if you are sending a business proposal or a legal contract, you might not want the recipient to see the name of the original author (which could be a competitor or a template creator) or the revision history implied by the creation dates. Our PDF Metadata Editor by KyaToolsJi gives you full control to view, modify, or completely scrub this hidden information.
