PDF files can store descriptive document properties including author, title, subject, keywords, creator and producer. This tool creates a new PDF and does not intentionally copy those standard metadata fields into the output.
How to remove metadata from a PDF
Delete common PDF metadata fields
Removing metadata can help reduce the amount of hidden descriptive information shared with a document, such as author names, titles, keywords, creator software, and certain document properties.
When to clean PDF metadata
Use it before publishing, sending documents externally, distributing templates, or sharing files that were created from internal office systems.
PDF metadata removal is not full anonymization
A PDF can contain many types of embedded information beyond standard metadata fields. Removing common metadata should not be treated as a guarantee that all sensitive or identifying information has been removed.
Check PDF metadata before and after removal
Use PDF Metadata Viewer to review visible metadata fields before or after cleanup.
Remove the author and document properties before sharing
If a PDF includes author or creator information you do not want to share, metadata cleanup can remove those standard document-property fields from the new copy.
Sensitive documents
For highly sensitive files, perform a broader document review and use appropriate redaction and security practices in addition to metadata cleanup.
