Because readers display the metadata title in the window and tab, not the filename. A document saved as report-final-v3.pdf can show "Microsoft Word - Untitled" to whoever opens it, which looks careless on anything client-facing. It is also what search engines read for indexed PDFs.
PDFs commonly carry the original author’s name, the software used, and occasionally the full file path from the machine that created them — which can reveal a username or internal folder structure. Worth reviewing before publishing anything externally.
Edit when the document benefits from good metadata — published reports, papers and anything meant to be found. Remove it with PDF Sanitize when the priority is privacy and you would rather the file said nothing about its origin at all.

What is PDF metadata: PDF files contain embedded properties like title, author, subject, creator, and keywords. These are used by search engines, document management systems, and screen readers to categorize and describe your document.
Auto-detection: When you upload a PDF, the tool reads any existing metadata and pre-fills the form so you can see what’s already there and update only what needs changing.
Privacy tip: Metadata can reveal private information like the original author name, software used, or company. Use this tool to clean or update metadata before sharing documents publicly.
