2. View Current Metadata
The tool will extract and display the current:

3. Edit and Save

Why Edit Metadata?
- SEO: Search engines read PDF metadata. A good title and keywords help your document get found.
- Organization: helps citation software (like Zotero or EndNote) correctly identify your document.
- Professionalism: Ensure the "Author" field shows your name or organization, not "Microsoft Word" or "Administrator".
- Privacy: Remove sensitive information from the metadata fields before sharing.
