What this tool does

Papiral writes metadata directly into the PDF document properties. Set the title, author, subject, and keywords — all commonly used by document management systems, search engines, and PDF cataloguing tools. Only the fields you fill in are updated; any existing values you leave blank are preserved.

Problems it solves

Frequently asked questions

What fields can I set?

Title, Author, Subject, and Keywords. Keywords should be comma-separated. Only fields you fill in are updated.

Is this the same as removing metadata?

No — Remove Metadata clears all fields. Set Metadata lets you write specific values while leaving others unchanged.
