PDF metadata

Shows the author, title and software embedded in a PDF — and removes them without re-saving the document.

Parses a PDF file and shows the /Info dictionary fields: author, title, subject, keywords, the creator application, the producer software, creation date and last modification date. Click “remove” and the document is updated with an incremental update — the original page stream stays untouched and an empty /Info object plus a new trailer are appended. This is the standard PDF way to change a file without a full repack: text layers, images, fonts and signatures are preserved as-is; only the document header changes. Classic PDFs (cross-reference table) are supported — most files coming out of Word, Pages, LibreOffice, or print-to-PDF in the browser. For PDFs with a compressed cross-reference table (XRef stream) or password protection the tool tells you honestly that it cannot handle them and suggests a desktop utility. Everything runs in the browser.
