Frequently Asked Questions
Quick direct-answer guides about using this utility tool locally and securely.
How do I edit the author name and title in a PDF without Adobe Acrobat?
Upload your PDF to KuberAgent Edit PDF Metadata tool, update the Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator, and Producer fields directly in your browser, then download the updated file — no Adobe subscription or software installation needed.
Is my PDF safe when editing metadata online?
Yes — KuberAgent processes your PDF entirely inside your browser. Unlike PDF24, Sejda, or iLovePDF which upload your file to their servers, your document never leaves your device at any stage — making it completely safe for confidential contracts, legal documents, and sensitive reports.
Will editing PDF metadata change the actual content, pages, or images?
No — metadata editing only updates the document's properties (title, author, keywords etc.) stored in the PDF information dictionary. The visible text, images, layout, and page content remain completely untouched.
How do I remove personal information from a PDF before sharing it?
Open the Edit PDF Metadata tool, clear the Author, Creator, and Producer fields, then save and download the updated PDF. This strips identifying personal information from the document properties before you share it externally or publish it online.
Why does my PDF show the wrong author name or title in search results?
Search engines and document management systems read PDF metadata to display document titles and author names. If your PDF was created by another tool or person, the metadata may still carry old or incorrect details — editing the metadata fields corrects what appears in search results and file managers.
How do I add keywords to a PDF to make it easier to find?
In the Keywords metadata field, add relevant terms separated by commas — for example "annual report, finance, 2026." These keywords help document management systems, SharePoint, Google Drive, and desktop search tools index and surface your PDF when users search for those terms.
Can I edit PDF metadata on my phone without installing an app?
Yes — open KuberAgent Edit PDF Metadata tool in any mobile browser, upload your PDF, update the metadata fields, and download the corrected file directly to your phone. No app installation required.
How do I fix a PDF that shows "Unknown Author" or blank title in document properties?
Upload the PDF, fill in the Title and Author fields with the correct information, and download the updated version. The corrected metadata will now display properly in Adobe Reader, Windows Explorer, Google Drive, and any other system that reads PDF properties.
Does editing PDF metadata affect the file size?
No — metadata changes are stored in a tiny information block inside the PDF structure. Updating or clearing metadata fields has virtually no impact on the overall file size.
