FAQ

Where is a PDF document title stored?

It is stored in the PDF document information dictionary or XMP metadata, separate from the filename.

Is a filename enough for PDF accessibility?

No. A descriptive metadata title is preferable because readers and assistive tools can expose it.

What makes a PDF title useful?

A useful title is specific, readable, and more descriptive than a generic filename or Untitled.

Can this checker add a missing title?

No. It reports the current value; use a metadata editor to add or revise it.

Does the checker read XMP metadata titles?

It uses the metadata exposed by PDF.js, which may include document information and available XMP fields.
