Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about PDF Metadata Editor

Can I clear common metadata fields for privacy?
Yes. Use Remove for an individual editable field, or choose Remove standard metadata and XMP to clear document-level properties. Blank inputs in Keep mode leave existing fields unchanged. Reinspect the downloaded PDF; visible content, annotations, attachments and other embedded information are outside this cleanup.
