Remove PDF metadata — strip personal info
Wipe title, author, subject, keywords, and producer from any PDF. Privacy in one click.
Privacy practice 101 for shared PDFs: leave each metadata field blank in the editor. We treat blanks as 'clear' (not 'leave alone'), so you can wipe everything in one pass.
The visible page content is unchanged. Only the embedded metadata gets cleared.

Frequently asked questions
Will Google still know who wrote the PDF if it's hosted on my site?
Search engines that already indexed the PDF have a copy of the original metadata. Re-uploading the cleaned version replaces it on subsequent crawls.
