Set PDF title and author metadata

Use jetformat pdf meta to set PDF title and author metadata.

By Jetformat

PDF metadata is separate from text drawn on the pages. Changing the title or author does not remove names visible in the document or attachments.

Steps

  1. Start with a local PDF. Replace the sample paths and identifiers with your own.
  2. Run the command below. Save to a new output path so the source remains available for comparison.
  3. Check the result as described below before using it in another job.
jetformat pdf meta book.pdf --title Report --author Jetformat -o meta.pdf

Options for this task

Option Meaning
--author Author
--keywords Keywords
--output Output PDF path (required)
--subject Subject
--title Title

Check the result

Open document properties in a PDF viewer and compare the new values; separately review visible content before sharing.

Notes and limits

This operation uses page-based credits. Review the billing guide before processing a large document.

The examples keep the original file. Add --force only when you intend to overwrite an existing output. Run jetformat pdf meta --help to compare options with your installed version.

See the pdf command reference for the surrounding workflow.
