Frequently asked questions
What metadata does this tool remove?
It clears the PDF document information dictionary, including standard descriptive fields, dates and custom keys stored there.
Does this fully anonymize a sensitive PDF?
No. PDFs can hold information elsewhere, including XMP packets, attachments, annotations, forms, scripts, hidden visible content and revision artifacts. Sensitive documents need a dedicated sanitization review.
Will my PDF pages look different?
The tool copies the document pages without intentionally changing their visible content, order, size or rotation.
Can I process a password-protected PDF?
Yes. Enter the correct open password before choosing the file.
Why might a PDF viewer show a producer afterward?
Some PDF software may add its own producer information when a document is later opened and resaved. This tool clears the information dictionary in the downloaded output at creation time.
