Frequently Asked Questions
What information does PDF metadata reveal?
PDF metadata often reveals the author's real name, operating system, company name, PDF creation software, and exact timestamp of document edits.
Does cleaning PDF metadata affect hyperlinks or formatting?
No. Only the document information dictionary (/Info) and XMP metadata streams are cleared, leaving all layout, pages, and hyperlinks intact.
Why should legal and medical documents be sanitized?
Sanitizing PDFs prevents accidental disclosure of internal company directories, previous authors, printer models, and revision timelines.
