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
- Adding author and title metadata to PDFs before publishing online
- Setting keywords on PDFs for internal document management search
- Correcting incorrect author or title fields on bulk-exported PDFs
- Meeting metadata requirements for PDF/A archival compliance

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.
