Clean hidden PDF document properties
PDF files may include document information such as title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer and creation or modification dates. Some files also contain XMP metadata. This tool scans common metadata fields and clears supported values while preserving the byte length of the PDF so cross-reference offsets remain intact. Complex, encrypted or specially structured PDFs may contain additional metadata that cannot be safely removed in-browser.
Tip: Always use the verification scan before sharing a sensitive file. Metadata removal improves privacy, but it is not a substitute for redaction or forensic sanitization.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which PDF metadata is removed?+
The cleaner targets common document information fields such as Author, Title, Subject, Keywords, Creator, Producer, CreationDate and ModDate, plus common XMP text values when detectable.
Is my PDF uploaded?+
No. Supported PDF scanning and cleaning run locally in the browser.
Does this sanitize all hidden PDF content?+
No. Metadata cleaning is not the same as redaction or forensic sanitization. Embedded files, annotations, revision history and application-specific structures may require specialized desktop tools.
