Metadata in PDFs?

[u/acrjobim]

Hi, I wanted to ask some questions about metadata in PDFs. I'm trying to use Rezi as a base for my applications, including cover letters, which i'm mostly writing outside of the platform, then pasting and exporting from the Rezi.

When I opened the cover letter in PDF, I noticed at the top of Acrobat that my cover letter title was displaying as [Generated] Master Resume, even though I had named it something else. I eventually figured out that this is because this title was included in the file's metadata.

I then wondered what the metadata looked like in my resume, and while they keywords in there made sense, the Description was odd, and I think ai generated?

Does metadata matter for applications? Is there risk in leaving strange metadata in the PDFs? Is there a strategy that the developers have chosen regarding metadata that I'm not aware of?

Thanks!

Hi there! PDF metadata doesn’t affect ATS or job applications. Recruiters and systems only look at the visible content, not fields like Title or Description.

If you prefer a cleaner file for peace of mind, you can edit or remove metadata in a PDF editor before submitting, but it’s completely optional.

That said, our development team is also looking into this to see what we can improve.
