How does the PDF Metadata Editor work?
Every PDF carries embedded metadata — title, author, creator software, subject, keywords. This metadata persists when you share the file and is visible to anyone who opens it (File → Properties in any PDF reader). It's useful for organising your own files, but a privacy concern when sharing externally — many "anonymous" leaked PDFs were traced back via metadata. This tool does two things: (1) Edit — update any of the four user-editable fields (leave blank to keep existing); (2) Strip — remove ALL metadata for maximum privacy before sharing. Note that creator/producer software is auto-set by whatever app created or modified the PDF — strip mode clears these too.
