CLUSTER METADATA-EDITING-FIELDS · 5 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2017-02-08

PDF and document metadata editors

This cluster comprises tools for viewing and editing metadata embedded in files, particularly PDFs and office documents. The dated entries are sporadic, with a single product appearing in 2017, 2021, 2024, and two in early 2026, showing no clear growth pattern. The traction leaders are pdftag, metadata, and Pdf Metadata Editor, though all have minimal activity signals (0 stars).

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
