Guide

What this page does

What this page does

PDF document information can contain a Keywords field used by some desktop search and document-management systems. This page focuses the metadata editor on that field.

When to use it

  • Replace outdated keywords in an archived report.
  • Add descriptive terms used by an internal document system.
  • Remove inherited keywords from a reused PDF template.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. Choose the PDF.
  2. Review the existing Keywords field.
  3. Enter the desired comma-separated keywords or clear the field.
  4. Save the metadata and download the updated PDF.

What you can accomplish

  • Replace outdated keywords in an archived report.
  • Add descriptive terms used by an internal document system.
  • Remove inherited keywords from a reused PDF template.

Tips for a better result

  • Use a small set of accurate terms rather than a long keyword list.
  • PDF metadata keywords do not guarantee search-engine rankings; visible useful page content matters more on the web.

Privacy and processing

Your PDF is processed in your browser by this tool. The document contents are not uploaded to an external processing server.

What to know

  • Many web search engines do not use PDF keyword metadata as a ranking signal.
  • External document systems may keep separate tags that this tool cannot change.
