Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I wipe PDF metadata before sharing?

PDFs often store hidden metadata such as your computer username, operating system version, software producer, and edit timestamps.

Does wiping metadata alter the visible document content?

No. Only the background document information dictionary is sanitized. All visible text and graphics remain unchanged.

Can I set custom Title and Author values?

Yes. You can type custom values into Title, Author, Subject, Creator, and Producer fields.

Is this tool safe for confidential business documents?

Yes, completely safe. The inspection and editing happen 100% client-side with zero data transmission.

Does this remove PDF creation and modification dates?

Yes. Clicking 'Wipe All Metadata' resets modification history to ensure clean privacy compliance.
