Students
Check submission properties
Replace outdated author or title values in a reused template while reviewing visible page text separately.
Features and controls
Edit document properties
Change title, author, subject, keywords, creator and producer.
Metadata fields and visible page text
The fields load the PDF’s existing document properties so you can replace or clear them. These values are metadata, not text printed on the pages and not the download filename. Use clear descriptive values when you want a reader or document library to identify the file more easily.
Know what metadata editing removes
Update the listed properties without assuming every trace of information is erased.
Document properties versus sensitive content
The export removes the old XMP metadata stream to avoid leaving conflicting property values and writes your selected standard fields. It does not search page text, images or attachments for names or private details. Use a redaction workflow when sensitive content inside the document must be removed.
Keep native page content
The operation works with PDF pages rather than screenshots.
Content quality and interactive features
Text and vector artwork remain in PDF form where supported. The original file on your device is not overwritten. Interactive forms, annotations, links and document-level navigation can behave differently in a newly assembled document, so check the generated PDF before sharing it. Page rearrangement is not redaction of information inside retained pages.
Review your finished PDF
Preview the result before downloading and sharing it.
Preview, download and revise
Select Start when the settings are ready. On the result screen, Preview opens the generated PDF and Download saves a separate copy. Back returns to the current workspace; Start over clears it for a new file. Review small text, page edges and page order in the finished copy. A new PDF does not preserve the validity of an existing digital signature.

FAQ
A few useful answers
Know what to expect before you start.
Temporary server processingWill changing the PDF title also rename text on the cover?
No. Metadata is stored in document properties. Use Edit PDF to change visible text. Clearing metadata also does not remove personal information printed or stored elsewhere in the file.
Which document properties can I change?
You can change or clear the title, author, subject, keywords, creator and producer. These properties load from the PDF. They are separate from text printed on the pages and from the download filename. Clearing them is not redaction of names or private information within the document.
Does editing metadata remove private information from pages?
The export removes the old XMP metadata stream to avoid leaving conflicting property values and writes your selected standard fields. It does not search page text, images or attachments for names or private details. Use a redaction workflow when sensitive content inside the document must be removed.
What are the file and page limits?
Open one PDF up to 100 MB and 750 source pages. Protected files need an unlocked copy unless this tool explicitly offers password entry. Large or complex pages can require more memory or reach processing limits even when the file is within these limits.
Where is my document processed?
This tool uses our servers for processing. Your original file is not overwritten; the result is a separate download. Preview and review the result where available, and download the copy you need before starting over.
