I guess this should be the accepted solution. OS agnostic and works fine. You could use any text editor. Notepad or other code editors didn't work And Here is a video about it. KinGamer KinGamer 5 5 silver badges 7 7 bronze badges. Great answer! You can change it in vim as well.

The best and only valid answer in my opinion! The format is pretty intuitive. However, it is wiser to use tools like pdftk, as described there , rather than editing the PDF file by hand. Otherwise you rapidly end up with a corrupted file that some applications refuse to open believing it has wrong DRM, or whatever.

You may also browse for it from your local disk and upload it. Click on the thumbnail of the page that you want to edit, and it will be loaded on the main editing window. Go to where the text has been misaligned, and then draw a blank white box to cover it up. Sue the rectangle feature and make sure that the fill color is white or resembles the background of the existing text.

On top of this box, retype or paste the misaligned text and match the font style and size. Once you have typed the text, align it in such a manner that it seems continuous with the text above and below it.

Conclusion and Recommendation: Misaligned text can make a document look unattractive, even if the content is important. Many times, you may have downloaded a PDF file, and all the text was poorly aligned. Some parts were justified, others aligned to the right and others to the left.

This poor alignment also made the font look odd. With PDFelement Pro, you can quickly and easily change the alignment of any part of a document, or even that of the full document, at one go.

This is a very powerful PDF editor and is quickly becoming the go-to tool for all editing functions among many PDF enthusiasts. Thanks for this! I also realized that this is the only method that does not change the size of the document. More Steps, More Flexibility The downside to that method is that while really simple, you can't programmatically change the Title for whatever reason, you can't use variables in Set PDF Metadata.

The reason I asked is exiftool doesn't contain any binaries and relies on perl and the various perl libraries to do it's thing. So it's just idle curiosity if the Set PDF Metadata action is calling an outside binary to do the actual work. Doesn't seem a way to use variables for the fields, has to be static text — malhal.

The question asks: "How to change a PDF's title? My answer addresses this question. I admit that in body there is also specifics referred but this has been already addressed in accepted answer. There are two questions - one in header and one in small print but my opinion is that this does not make first one to 'question not asked here'.
