PDF Metadata Viewer

PDF Metadata Viewer reads embedded document information dictionary fields from your PDF—title, author, subject, creator app, and modification timestamps.

It helps auditors and privacy reviewers see hidden properties before publishing contracts or redacted filings externally.

A PDF exported from Word may still carry your personal name as Author even after visual redaction—metadata leaks in due diligence.

Archivists and SEO teams verify canonical title fields before indexing whitepapers in CMS systems.

• Audit author fields on client deliverables before handoff
• Check creation dates on versioned policy PDFs
• Verify title tags on downloadable ebook PDFs
• Inspect producer strings after third-party PDF generation
• Document metadata findings in compliance tickets

1. 1Upload the PDF you want to inspect.
2. 2Read the displayed property table—title, author, subject, keywords, dates.
3. 3Note any fields that expose personal or internal information.
4. 4Use PDF Metadata Remover if you need a clean export for public release.
5. 5Screenshot or copy values for your records if required.

• Viewing metadata does not change the file—removal is a separate export step.
• Compare metadata across versions when debugging “which export is newest” disputes.
• Pair with PDF Size Checker when diagnosing bloated files—the producer field hints at source app.
• Some scanners embed serial numbers in Creator fields—flag those before FOIA releases.

• Encrypted PDFs must be unlocked before metadata reads succeed.
• XMP metadata packets may contain fields beyond the summary table—deep forensics needs specialist tools.
• Common mistake — assuming redacted body text hides identity: author metadata may still name the drafter.
