FAQ

Does it remove everything hidden in a PDF?

No. It blanks six document-info fields. Creation and modification dates are not removed, and the on-page notice in the tool overstates this. Separate XMP metadata and any custom properties are also not cleared, and neither are names inside the visible page text.

Is it enough to hide who wrote the document?

It removes the Author field, but names can still appear in comments, form fields, the file name or the page content. Check the result yourself before sharing a sensitive file.

Will this change how the PDF looks?

No. Only the document properties are rewritten; pages, fonts and images are copied through as they are.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The PDF is processed in your browser.
