Will editing metadata change my document content?

No, metadata is separate from document content. Editing metadata only changes the hidden properties, not any visible text, images, or formatting.

Can I remove metadata completely?

You can clear all fields by leaving them empty. However, some basic metadata is managed by your operating system.

Does metadata affect SEO?

Yes, search engines can index PDF metadata. Proper titles and keywords can help your documents appear in search results.
