Remove metadata — questions
What exactly is PDF metadata?
Hidden information stored inside the file: the author name, the software that created it, the creation and modification dates, keywords and more. Most PDF viewers don't show it, but it's there.
Why should I remove it?
If you're sharing a document anonymously or professionally, metadata can leak your name, employer or the software you use. Cleaning it removes those traces.
Does cleaning change the document content?
No. Only the hidden metadata is removed — every page, image and word stays exactly the same.
