About the PDF Metadata Editor Engine
Every PDF carries hidden metadata — title, author, subject, and keyword fields — that can leak a previous editor’s name or an outdated document title. iCreatePDF reads and updates these document properties directly in your browser, letting you clean up or correct metadata without uploading the file.
Zero-Server Privacy Architecture
Unlike conventional web utilities that transmit your files to cloud processing clusters, iCreatePDF executes pdf metadata editor completely client-side. WebAssembly modules and local JavaScript engines handle all parsing, layout calculation, rendering, and file encoding inside your browser sandboxed memory buffer. Your files never cross network boundaries.
