How it works
- Choose a PDF file – the current metadata is shown immediately.
- Choose “Remove all metadata” or edit individual fields.
- Click “Save PDF” and download the new file.
Notes and limitations
- “Remove all” clears the document information, the XMP metadata and editing data some programs store (PieceInfo).
- Personal data can also be hidden in the content itself, in comments or in attachments – this tool does not change the content.
- The modification date is set to the current time when editing.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my name in the PDF?
