I have a pdf file that I am putting on a website for a client. It is located here. http://www.optiphysicaltherapy.com/dev/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/OPTI_NewPatientForms.pdf The title should be OPTI New Patient Forms but if you look at the tab in the browser and the name at the top of the browser window it says "Coury And. " Where can I go to change this? The website is using Wordpress 3.8.1 and I am not sure if it is in Wordpress or in the actual pdf file. Thank you, Matt

Commented Mar 3, 2014 at 5:05Good question. I don't know where to change it. It is not an HTML based page, it's a pdf. I have never seen a meta title in a pdf and am asking where I can go to change it.
Commented Mar 3, 2014 at 7:51I honestly don't think that is it. I don't have that name anywhere related to the Wordpress site. I think it is part of the actual pdf. Is there a meta-title setting in pdfs?
Commented Mar 3, 2014 at 22:50See, below. If the PDF has a meta-title it will show in Firefox as if it were the meta-title for a webpage. This is only when displaying just the pdf in the browser.
Commented Mar 4, 2014 at 17:06Open the PDF with Notepad++ and search (CTRL+F) for /Title Change title between brackets (and leave the brackets) For instance: Change "/Title (OLD TITLE)" into "/Title (This is my new title)"
Save the PDF and Voila

Commented Feb 15, 2021 at 6:37Notepad or other code editors didn't work. And Here is a video about it. youtube.com/watch?v=vJw77is-f50
Commented Sep 6, 2021 at 4:49This didn't work for me. I opened my problematic PDF in Notepad++, searched for the string "title" via CTRL+F, and got no matches. Boo! (Judging by one of the few non-gibberish parts of the file as viewed in Notepad++, it looks like this particular PDF may have been created with Google's PDFium. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.) I ended up using Adobe Acrobat Pro to edit the file and solve the problem, as per MattM's accepted answer.
