Set the title and author stored in a PDF document

For teams reshaping a document before delivery or archiving, this tool avoids a detour through installed software. Set the title and author stored in a PDF document.

Set the title and author stored in a PDF document. Preview the result and download a new PDF without uploading or storing the original document.

How to use

Upload the PDF whose title or author you want to change from your computer or phone.
Type the title to store in the document, then fill in the author if needed.
Run the save action so the browser rewrites the descriptive information inside the file.
Open the preview and make sure the document still displays correctly after the change. Compare it with the original if the PDF is important.
Download the new PDF to replace the old version in your files or archive.

Example

A team prepares a brochure for a document archive. It sets a clear title and the official author, checks the preview, and downloads the PDF so document management software shows the right information in its lists.

Limits and formats

Only the title and author fields are offered; other metadata fields cannot be changed here.
The name you type does not appear on the pages, it stays in the file information.
A protected or damaged PDF may prevent saving.
Read the title again before sharing, because some readers display it in the window bar.
Changes are not applied to the original until you download the new copy.

Where processing happens

The changes are applied inside your browser. The PDF is opened locally, its title and author information is rewritten, and the file is then offered for download. Nothing is sent away during this operation, and the original stays untouched on your device. You keep control of the document.

Frequently asked questions

Where do the title and author appear?

They are stored in the PDF metadata and may show up in a reader, a document manager or a properties window. They are not automatically printed on the visible pages, so readers see them only in file information.

Can I leave one field empty?

Yes, you can fill only the field you care about. The final PDF will contain the value you entered for that field and will keep the other existing information, if any is present.

Does this change the page content?

No, the tool works on the descriptive information of the file. The text, images and layout of the pages are not changed by this metadata update, so the visible document remains the same.
