About this tool

Before sharing a document it is worth knowing what it says about you, and when receiving one it is worth knowing where it came from. Metadata answers both: who authored it, what software produced it, when it was created and when it was last changed.

The report is shown on screen with no download required. Nothing is stored and nothing is uploaded, so you can safely inspect confidential files. If you find something you would rather not send, Remove PDF Metadata clears it in one pass.

What it's good for

  • Checking what a document reveals before you send it.
  • Establishing when a received file was created.

Questions people ask

Does it show who edited the document last?
It shows the producing software and modification date; PDFs do not record an edit history.
Can it show GPS or camera data?
Not for PDFs. That kind of data lives in image files.
Does it work on protected PDFs?
Yes, if you enter the password.
