What metadata does a PDF contain?

PDFs can store title, author, subject, keywords, creator application, producer, creation date, and modification date. This information can reveal who created the document and when.

Why should I remove PDF metadata?

Removing metadata protects your privacy when sharing documents. It strips identifying information like your name, the software used, and timestamps that could reveal sensitive details.

Does removing metadata change the PDF content?

No. Only the document property fields are cleared. The actual pages, text, images, and formatting remain completely unchanged.
