Why metadata matters

The title is shown in browser tabs and PDF readers instead of the file name, and search engines use it when they list the PDF. A clear title and subject make published reports, menus and price lists look more professional and easier to find.

Metadata can also reveal more than you intend, such as the author's full name, a company name or the software used. Use Clear all before sharing a document publicly if you'd rather not include those details.
