How do I change file metadata?

I am using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC vs 18.009.20050

I've noticed that the file metadata in all of my PDFs is incorrect. Most all have the file title as the same incorrect name and doesn't match the file name, as I would like it.  Some of the other data is incorrect, also.  I tried changing it but the fields won't allow change. I can access the fields and click in the box, but cannot enter or alter the data.  Is there s fix for this?

    The fix is to subscribe to, or get a permanent license to, Adobe Acrobat.

    Reader can't edit PDF files in this way. As mentioned, you need to get Acrobat to be able to do it.
