View PDF metadata
Every PDF carries hidden properties. The author field often holds a real name, and the creator and producer fields name the software that made the file. Dates show when it was created and last changed.
Drop a file here to read all of it at once, like a PDF metadata viewer.
Edit or remove PDF metadata
Fix a wrong title so the file looks right in search results and browser tabs. Or strip everything: the remove option clears both the Info dictionary and the XMP metadata.
Metadata is only part of what a file reveals. To hide text on the page itself, redact the PDF. The redaction guide explains the difference.
