Frequently asked questions

File dates are generated by your computer's operating system (like when you last saved it). Metadata dates are embedded inside the PDF's code, showing when the document was originally authored.

Upload the PDF to PDFSimpli, navigate to the Document Properties/Metadata editor, locate the 'Creation Date' field, enter your new timestamp, and save.

Yes, completely secure. We do not extract or store your document's text or metadata. Files are processed automatically and deleted promptly.

No. Editing the metadata only changes the invisible properties of the file. Your text, images, and formatting will remain completely untouched.
