PDF Metadata Privacy
PDF documents embed substantial metadata that can reveal sensitive information. Author names, organization details, editing history, and creation timestamps persist even when you think you've removed them. Our scrubber identifies and removes this hidden data.
What PDFs Reveal
Standard PDF metadata fields include:
- Author: Often defaults to your computer username or registered software owner
- Creator: The application that created the original document
- Producer: The application that generated the PDF
- Creation/Modification dates: When the document was created and last edited
- Custom properties: Tags added by organizations or workflows
Hidden Metadata Risks
PDFs may contain revision history, deleted text in some editors, and embedded fonts with licensing information. Legal documents, contracts, and proposals can inadvertently reveal negotiating positions, original authors, or confidential reviewers through metadata.
When to Scrub Metadata
- Before sending documents to external parties or clients
- When publishing documents publicly
- For anonymous submissions or whistleblower documents
- When sharing templates that shouldn't carry creator information
Verification
After scrubbing, use our PDF metadata viewer to verify removal. Check that all personal and organizational information has been stripped before sharing.
