What a PDF says about you without you seeing it

A document produced by Word, LibreOffice or a scanner almost always carries your name, your organization’s name, the software used, its version, and the exact dates of creation and last modification. None of this shows when you open the file: you have to look for it in the properties.

The second set of metadata

A PDF carries two: the dictionary shown in the file properties, and a block called XMP, stored separately as XML. Many tools clear the first and leave the second.

Here, nothing shows: the properties are empty and the document opens with no metadata. Only a search through the raw bytes reveals it.

The check is done for you

After cleaning, the tool reads the resulting file back and searches it for each of the values it just removed. The result is shown with the rest of the summary.

The list of what was found stays on screen after cleaning. It’s often the only thing you came to see, and wiping it at the moment you act would make no sense.

What cleaning doesn’t do

It doesn’t touch the content. A name written in the body text stays there: to make it disappear, you need to redact the document.

It doesn’t touch the file name. “resume-2026-smith.pdf” says as much as the metadata you just removed. Rename it.

It doesn’t remove images. A photo inserted in the document can carry its own EXIF data: for that, see remove EXIF from a photo.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files sent anywhere? No. You can check for yourself in thirty seconds: here is how.

Is the document’s content changed? No, not a single letter. Only the metadata is removed; the text and images stay intact.

How can I tell the cleaning really worked? The tool reads the resulting file back and searches it for each removed value. The result of that check is shown in the summary.

Should I keep the dates? It depends on the use. On a document, a creation date often identifies you better than a name: by default they are removed, and a checkbox lets you keep them.

What about password-protected PDFs? A PDF that opens without a password but forbids printing or copying is accepted as it is. If it needs a password to open, go through unlock a PDF first, if you know it: the document comes out intact.
