Why Remove PDF Metadata?
Every PDF you create contains hidden "metadata" that can reveal your full name, software version, creation date, and even your computer's username. If you are sharing sensitive documents, resumes, or legal files, stripping this data is crucial for privacy.
What does this tool remove?
- Author Name: Often defaults to your system username.
- Title & Subject: Can contain draft notes.
- Creation Date: Reveals exactly when you worked on the file.
- Producer App: Shows if you used Word, Adobe, or other tools.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No! Unlike other "free" tools, RapidDocTools processes your PDF entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your file never leaves your computer.
Does this remove the text content?
No, this tool only removes the metadata (properties). The visible text and images in your PDF remain exactly the same.
Can I assume my PDF is 100% untraceable?
This tool removes standard standard metadata fields. However, complex forensic analysis might still find traces in image data or font structures. Ideally, "Print to PDF" is another way to flatten a file completely.
