Metadata is what search engines, document systems and file managers read first: the title shown in a browser tab, the author, the subject and keywords used for indexing. Exported PDFs often carry wrong or embarrassing values — “Untitled”, a colleague’s name, a template’s keywords. This tool shows the current values and lets you set new ones.
Fields you leave empty are kept as they are (or cleared, if you tick the option). Changes are written on your device.
