What is PDF metadata?
PDF metadata includes document properties stored separately from the text and pages visible to the reader. An author name or editing application may remain in these properties when a PDF is shared with someone else.
File Meta Cleaner detects and removes supported properties in the standard PDF Info dictionary: title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, creation date, and modification date.
The PDF is processed locally in your browser. After cleaning, the file is reopened to verify property removal, page count, and page dimensions. This is document-property cleaning, not complete PDF sanitization.
How to remove PDF document properties
- Choose a PDF of up to 25 MB and 100 pages; password-protected PDFs are not accepted.
- Review the properties found and select Remove detected metadata.
- Download the result and open it in your PDF viewer to review the document before sharing.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What PDF metadata can File Meta Cleaner remove?
The tool removes detected title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, creation date, and modification date values from the standard PDF Info dictionary.
Will the cleaned PDF keep its pages and visible content?
The cleaner preserves the page count and page dimensions and is designed to preserve visible page content. You should still review an important cleaned document before sharing it.
Why can the cleaned PDF have a different file size?
The PDF library may rebuild internal objects while saving the cleaned file, so its size can increase or decrease slightly. A size difference alone does not indicate a change to visible content.
Is this complete PDF sanitization?
No. The cleaner removes the supported standard document properties it reports. It does not claim to remove every annotation, attachment, script, form, hidden object, or visible private detail.
How can I check PDF properties before and after cleaning?
Open the original and cleaned files in a PDF viewer that offers Document Properties, usually under File or the main menu. Compare fields such as Title, Author, and Creator. This checks document properties; it does not establish that annotations, attachments, or other private content have been removed.
