## What Is PDF Metadata Editor on PDFnology & How Client-Side Processing Works
PDF Metadata Editor (https://pdf.dealnology.com/pdf-metadata-editor) is a free, zero-upload browser utility engineered by Dealnology that executes document manipulation 100% locally inside the user's device memory using WebAssembly, pdf-lib v1.17.1, Mozilla PDF.js v3.11.174, and HTML5 Canvas APIs. Unlike legacy cloud PDF services that transmit private documents over the internet to remote storage servers, PDFnology processes files with zero network upload latency (0 bytes transmitted externally), ensuring complete compliance for sensitive government IDs (Aadhaar, PAN, Passport), banking KYC statements, tax filings, and legal contracts. The engine supports multi-pass binary-search kilobyte calibration (strictly under 50KB, 100KB, 150KB, 200KB, 300KB, or 500KB), 150–600 DPI raster-vector optimization, unlimited daily tasks without account registration or email gating, and watermark-free output across Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS.

### Why does my PDF show an old filename in the browser tab when opened?
PDF viewers display the internal `Title` metadata property in the window title bar. Changing the filename in Windows/Mac does not change the internal Title—use this tool to update it!
