Document metadata cleanup

Clears standard and custom document information fields and detected XMP streams. PDFs are re-serialized; encrypted, password-protected, or digitally signed files are rejected.

How PDF metadata cleaning works

The cleaner removes PDF document information entries, including standard fields and custom keys, clears creation and modification timestamps, and removes catalog- and page-level XMP metadata streams. It also removes unreferenced metadata objects during sanitization.

The PDF is parsed and re-serialized locally in your browser. This is not a redaction tool and does not remove text, annotations, form values, attachments, or other document content. Encrypted, password-protected, or digitally signed PDFs are rejected.
