  3. Download the updated PDF

    The new metadata is written into the document.

Before a document leaves your organisation you usually want one of two things: a lock on it, or the traces removed from it. Edit Metadata applies that change locally, which matters because the file and the password never travel over the network. Keep an unencrypted master copy — passwords on PDFs are easy to lose.

No signup

No account, no email, no credit card, no trial to remember.
