About this tool
View and edit a PDF’s title, author, subject, keywords, creator and producer, or remove all metadata — verified by re-reading the new file.
The PDF is opened with a PDF object library (not by editing raw bytes). Editing rewrites the document-information dictionary; cleaning empties it and removes the XMP metadata stream from the document and its pages. The saved file is then opened again and every field is read back before any result is shown.
Example: a report showing “Author: j.smith” and “Producer: Word 2016” can be saved with a new title and author, or cleaned so the re-read file shows no metadata.
Metadata is only one place where information hides; images, attachments and form fields can contain more. Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked first.
