PDF tool / 100% free

PDF Metadata Viewer

See exactly what a PDF is carrying before you send it: author, title, subject, keywords, the producing software and version, creation and modification dates, and page count. Inspect first, then decide what needs removing. It is free, needs no account, and adds no watermark to your result.

Questions

Common questions.

Is my file changed by viewing its metadata?

No. This is read-only. The file is parsed, the fields are reported, and its temporary processing workspace is removed after processing.

What is the producer field?

It names the software and version that wrote the PDF. It is useful for debugging, and it also quietly tells recipients what your organisation runs.

How do I remove what I find?

Send the same file through Remove PDF Metadata, which clears these fields and saves a fresh copy without changing the visible pages.
