About Edit PDF Info
Edit PDF Info lets you change the details saved inside a PDF file: the title, the author and the subject. These details are not printed on the page, but many PDF readers and computers show them. The tool runs in your browser, so your document stays on your device.
This is useful when a file still shows an old author name from a template, or when the title is a random code instead of the real name. Fix the details before you send a CV, a report, a thesis or a company brochure, so the file looks tidy when someone opens it.
