Comprehensive PDF Metadata Management

Free PDF Metadata Editor provides users with an effective solution for editing and managing the metadata of PDF files on Windows. Designed for both individual and bulk operations, this tool enables straightforward changes to document information such as author, title, subject, and keywords.

Batch Editing Capabilities

One of the key advantages of this software lies in its robust batch-processing features. Users can select multiple PDFs—either through the main interface or directly via Windows Explorer integration—and update their properties in a single operation. Whole folders, including subfolders filled with PDF files, can be processed at once, saving considerable time for users managing large collections.

User-Defined Metadata and Automation

Free PDF Metadata Editor allows the creation and assignment of unlimited custom metadata fields beyond the standard Info Dictionary. This flexibility is paired with the option to auto-fill fields with dynamically generated values such as file name, directory path, current date and time, or last modification date. Such features benefit users who require detailed tracking or organization of their documents.

Ease of Use and Accessibility

The application makes document organization simple with drag-and-drop functionality and right-click context menu support within Windows Explorer. This means users can access editing features from their file manager without needing to open the primary app window, streamlining workflow, especially for those frequently managing PDFs.

No External PDF Software Required

Free PDF Metadata Editor operates independently and does not require Adobe Acrobat or any third-party PDF software. This increases accessibility for users seeking a lightweight and cost-free solution.

Support and Compatibility

All standard and password-protected PDF versions are supported, allowing users to work with virtually any PDF in their library. Multilingual support, with translations in more than thirty languages, makes the interface accessible to a global audience.
