About this tool

Every PDF carries properties most people never look at: the author's name, the title from the original template, the software used, and creation and modification timestamps. Send a document to a client or a tribunal and all of that goes with it — including the fact that a proposal was created from a competitor's file, or edited at 2 a.m.

This tool clears the document information fields and rewrites the file, leaving the pages untouched. It is a lossless operation: text stays selectable, images stay sharp, and only the hidden properties change.

What it's good for

  • Removing your name before publishing a document publicly.
  • Cleaning template metadata from a proposal or CV.
  • Stripping timestamps from a document before disclosure.
  • Anonymising a file for blind review.
