PDF Metadata Settings

PDF metadata is information about a PDF document that describes its content, authorship, and other properties. It helps with organizing, searching, and categorizing the document without reading its actual content.

The title represents the name of the document. It is typically intended to describe what the document is called and may be displayed in the title bar of PDF readers or in search results.
The author in a PDF's metadata represents the creator or originator of the document. It is intended to identify the person, organization, or entity responsible for the content of the document. This information is often displayed in PDF readers and can be used for attribution or search indexing.
The subject provides a short description or summary of the document's content. It serves as a brief explanation of what the document is about.
Keywords help describe and categorize the document content. They can be used for searching and organizing PDFs in document management systems.
The producer indicates which software or system generated the PDF file. It helps identify the tool used to create or modify the document.
The creator indicates which software or system created the PDF file. It helps identify the application used to generate the document.
The creation date indicates when the document was originally created. This metadata helps track the document's origin and timeline.
The modification date indicates when the document was last changed. This metadata helps track the document's revision history.
PDF/A is an ISO standard for long-term PDF archiving. Many scanners and “Scan to PDF” apps save files as PDF/A, so enabling it makes the output resemble a genuine scan more closely. PDF/A-1b offers the broadest compatibility, while PDF/A-2b produces smaller files.

Three steps to a batch of scanned PDFs

  1. Drop in as many PDFs, images and Office documents as you need at once — every file is read in your browser and never sent to a server.
  2. Set the scan effect, paper, signatures and stamps and the watermark once: every file in the queue is generated with the same settings.
  3. Select “Generate Scanned PDF”: the files are rendered one after another, then download the whole batch as a ZIP or any single file from its row.

Supported formats

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Bulk scanning runs in your browser exactly like standard scanning: every file is rendered and scanned on your own device, and the source files are not sent to a processing server. Word, PowerPoint and Excel may download missing fonts; source documents stay on your device.

How many files can I scan at once?

There is no fixed limit. Files are rendered one after another rather than all at the same time, so a queue of a few dozen everyday office documents is normally fine; very large files are limited by your device’s memory.

Do I get one PDF per file or a single merged file?

One scanned PDF per source file. When the batch finishes, “Download Scanned PDF” saves all of them together as a ZIP archive, and every row also has its own download button.

Can I mix different formats in one batch?

Yes. You can mix these formats in the same queue: PDF and OFD, images such as JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC, Word (.docx, .doc), PowerPoint (.pptx, .ppt), spreadsheets including Excel, CSV and ODS, e-books in EPUB, Kindle MOBI/AZW3 and FictionBook FB2, comic archives (CBZ), saved email (.eml, Outlook .msg), Markdown, LaTeX, HTML/MHTML, RTF, SVG and plain text (.txt).

Do I need Pro for bulk scanning?

Yes, bulk scanning is a Pro feature. Standard single-file scanning is free and needs no signup, so you can try the scan effect there before you upgrade.

Can I use different settings for each file?

No. One set of scan, paper, stamp, watermark and metadata settings applies to the whole batch. To tune a single document on its own, open it on the standard scan page.

What happens if one file fails?

The batch keeps going. The file that failed is reported and skipped, the remaining files are still generated, and the archive contains everything that succeeded.

Can I close the tab while a batch is running?

No. The work happens in the page itself, so keep the tab open until the last file is done — closing it or navigating away ends the run and the generated PDFs are lost.
