Change the PDF name in the file viewer

Edit the display name of a PDF in the pop-up file viewer. The file name in the media library stays unchanged.

Depending on the browser, a PDF opened on your site may display a title at the top of the pop-up file viewer.

The title shown in the viewer is typically taken from the Title field in the PDF's document metadata. If the Title field is empty or has not been set, the viewer may instead display a default filename, such as document_1.pdf.

Word documents

If you upload a Word document, the browser may display Microsoft Word before the document title because the file is associated with the Microsoft Word application.

Change the document title

Depending on the file's ownership and permissions, you may be able to edit the Title metadata using the application you use to manage or create the document.

For PDFs, update the Title field in the document's metadata and save the file before uploading it to your site.
