Remove Metadata from a PDF
PDF inspection and cleanup are in development and are not available in this preview. Documents may include author, software and creation details alongside their visible contents.
PDF support is not yet available
The prototype targets the document information dictionary and detected metadata streams. It is not a redaction tool and cannot promise to remove every private detail.

Review the visible pages, comments, attachments and hidden layers as well as author and software fields. A filename can also contain sensitive information. Editing a signed document can invalidate its signature.
Frequently asked questions
Can I clean a PDF here?
PDF cleanup is in development and is not available in this preview.
Will removing metadata redact the document?
No. Metadata cleanup is not redaction. Text, images, comments, attachments, hidden layers and other content may remain.
Can a signed or encrypted PDF be cleaned?
The development prototype refuses detected signatures and encrypted PDFs. Changing a PDF may invalidate a signature, and signature detection is not a complete audit.
