How to use Remove PDF Metadata
- Add your PDF. Drag it into the box. You'll see the hidden details it contains.
- Review what's there. Check the author, software and dates stored in the file.
- Remove and download. Press Remove metadata and download the clean copy.
What PDF metadata can reveal
Most PDFs carry details you can't see on the page: the author's name (often your Windows or Mac account name), your company, the software used, and when the file was created and changed. A hidden XMP record can also include editing history.
- Clean metadata before publishing documents on a website or sending them to the other side in a dispute.
- Metadata isn't the only hidden content. Comments, earlier versions and covered text can also leak information. Use Redact PDF for anything sensitive on the page.
