PDF Privacy Check

Site information

Disclaimer

Technical scope and important limits of PDF metadata clearing.

Not redaction

Metadata clearing does not remove visible text, images, comments, or other page content. If information must be hidden from a recipient, use a suitable redaction workflow and verify the rendered result.

Not anonymization

Removing the supported fields does not make a PDF anonymous and does not guarantee removal of every metadata source, attachment, script, annotation, revision artifact, embedded identifier, or forensic remnant.

Not professional advice

The service provides technical information, not legal, compliance, privacy, records-management, or security advice. Consult an appropriate professional when a disclosure or filing has material consequences.
