Edit PDF document information or metadata

The document information fields in Nitro PDF Professional are useful for users who want to know more about a document, and they're particularly useful for indexing your documents. These fields can be used to help categorize documents and help narrow down search results from search engines and from indexes built in Nitro PDF Professional.

With Nitro PDF Professional you can edit the document title, author, subject and keyword fields, as well as add your own custom metadata fields.
