Frequently asked questions

Which metadata fields are purged?
All standard document information dictionary fields are cleared: Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator, Producer, and Creation/Modification timestamps.
Does this affect visible page text or images?
Not at all. Visible text, images, tables, and layouts remain untouched. Only invisible background properties are sanitized.
Why should I clean metadata before distributing a PDF?
Metadata can inadvertently reveal your full name, local computer username, software versions, and exact modification dates.
Are my files uploaded to a remote server for cleaning?
No. Reading and rewriting the PDF header takes place directly in your web browser with no remote communication.
How does this differ from redacting a PDF?
'Remove Metadata' cleans invisible file properties. 'Redact PDF' permanently blacks out and removes visible sensitive text or graphics on the page.
