How to use remove pdf metadata
1. Choose the PDF
Open the document whose author, title and embedded XMP properties you want to remove.
2. Remove document metadata
Select Process PDF. This targets metadata rather than visible page content.
3. Review the cleaned copy
Download the result and check its properties. Inspect visible text, comments and attachments separately if they may contain personal information.
What this tool preserves
Not full sanitization: visible content, comments and attachments may still contain personal information.
Privacy and practical limits
Files stay on your device. Each input must be under 150 MB. Processing speed and memory use depend on your device. Keep original documents; PDF transformations do not preserve digital-signature validity.
