There may be a time when you want to edit the properties of a PDF file on Mac, such as adding author name, adding a subject or keywords, or even changing the title of the PDF file. Editing properties of PDF in a Mac is a very powerful and important feature. Search engines look for keywords and author information and by adding these to your PDF file, your PDF file will become easily searchable by search engines and web crawlers. In this article, I will teach you how to edit PDF properties using PDFelement Pro.

Step 1. Load Your PDF Files
To begin to edit PDF properties, you will need to access the PDF property editor in your PDF editing program. Then click the "Open File" button to add your PDF to the program.

PDFelement has a variety of editing features. You can make full use of the offered tools to make changes to your PDF before start editing the properties.
Step 3. Edit Properties in a PDF
Just go to "File." In the pop-up window, you will find the properties that you will be able to edit. These properties include the author, the subject, the title, and the keywords.
