Frequently asked questions
What metadata does this tool remove?▼
It strips the title, author, subject, keywords, creator, and producer fields from the PDF's information dictionary. Creation and modification dates are also cleared.
Why would I want to remove PDF metadata?▼
Metadata can reveal the original author, the software used to create the document, and when it was created or modified. Removing it before sharing externally is a basic privacy measure, especially for sensitive business documents.
Does removing metadata change the visible content?▼
No. Only the hidden information dictionary is cleared. The pages, text, images, and formatting remain completely unchanged.
