Edit PDF metadata is a narrow tool on purpose
Change title, author, subject and keywords.
Metadata is separate from what you see on the page
Title, author, subject and keyword fields can travel with a document without appearing in its visible content. Editing or removing them doesn’t rewrite names or text that are printed on the page itself.
The edge case to remember with Edit PDF metadata: PDFs can carry fonts, forms, layers, annotations and unusual page boxes that don't always behave like a flat image. Use accurate descriptive values rather than keyword stuffing.
Where Edit PDF metadata fits cleanly
Use it when you need to correct an outdated PDF title or author; it also fits when you need to add descriptive metadata before archiving. If the job asks for more than that, split the workflow rather than making one tool do two different things.
The point where Edit PDF metadata stops helping
Use redaction or the PDF Editor for visible content. Metadata tools only address document properties and reported information.
