Clean PDF Properties Before Sharing
PDF files can carry document information that is not visible on the page. A file may show an old title, the name of the app that created it or an author value from a template. Remove PDF Metadata clears common standard fields before you share the file.
Good for Privacy Checks
This is useful before sending proposals, contracts, forms, drafts, client files or public downloads. It does not change the visible pages. It only cleans the document information stored in the PDF properties where supported.
Metadata and Redaction Are Different
Metadata removal does not hide text or images that appear on the page. If there is visible information you do not want to share, use Redact PDF and review the result before sending.
