### PDF Metadata options

Here's a list of all the **optional parameters** that you can send as an object "metadata" while using our endpoints:

<ParamField body="title" type="string">
  A human-readable name for the document, like a book title. Default: the name
  of the template
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="author" type="string">
  The individual or organization that created the document. Default: `pdfnoodle`
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="subject" type="string">
  A brief description of the document's topic.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="keywords" type="string[]">
  A list of keywords describing the content.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="creator" type="string">
  The original software that created the content before it was turned into a
  PDF. Default: `pdfnoodle`
</ParamField>

These values will appear in the PDF's file details. On macOS, you can check them by right-clicking the file and selecting **Get Info** in Finder.
