Remove PDF Metadata: what to know
Clear document information such as author, title, subject, keywords, creator, producer and dates, including the XMP metadata block. This can reduce incidental information carried in file properties.
Metadata removal is not complete document sanitization. Names in visible text, pictures, form answers, annotations or embedded material can still identify someone. Inspect the document itself before sharing a sensitive copy.
Popular uses
- Remove an old author property
- Clear application names from document information
- Prepare file properties for external sharing
Tips for the best result
- Look at both file properties and visible page contents.
- Keep an original if metadata is needed for your records.
