Frequently Asked Questions

What metadata is stored inside a PDF file?

Standard PDFs store document Title, Author name, Subject description, Keywords, Creation Date, Modification Date, and the software used to create the file (Creator/Producer).

Why should I clear metadata before sharing a PDF?

Clearing metadata prevents recipients from seeing internal usernames, operating system paths, draft revision histories, and company details.
