What Is PDF Metadata?
When you work with PDFs, there’s often a hidden layer of information tucked inside the file called metadata. Metadata is basically “data about data.” For PDFs, that usually means details like the title of the document, the author’s name, the subject, keywords, creation date, modification date, and sometimes even the software that was used to make it. While most people never notice this information, it can be pretty important. For example, search engines and document management systems often use metadata to categorize and organize files. It also helps when you’re sharing PDFs with clients or colleagues, since a clean title and author field looks a lot more professional than leaving it blank or stuck with something random like “Microsoft Word – Final Copy (2).pdf.”
