How pdf metadata remover works

PDF properties can reveal the document author, application, title and creation date. The PDF cleaner removes the document information dictionary and supported XMP metadata streams, then saves a new copy. It does not redact page content, annotations, attachments, forms, or signatures. Encrypted PDFs are rejected rather than bypassed.

Good to know

Cleaning changes the PDF file and may invalidate digital signatures. If sensitive information appears on a page or in an annotation, use a dedicated redaction tool.

Three simple steps

  1. Select your supported files or drag them into the tool.
  2. Choose Remove metadata and start cleaning.
  3. Review the report and download your results.
