About PDF Security & Metadata Manager

Inspect, edit, preserve, or remove supported PDF metadata locally with document properties, honest security capability reporting, and browser-side export.

A PDF Security and Metadata Manager helps review the information stored in a PDF before the file is shared, archived, submitted, or published. PDF metadata can include a title, author, subject, keywords, creator software, producer software, creation date, and modification date. This browser-based tool focuses on supported metadata inspection and cleanup. It also reports security capability limits clearly: the current implementation detects password-protected PDFs, but it does not bypass passwords, remove passwords, create encrypted PDFs, enforce permission controls, add digital signatures, or claim forensic sanitization.

How to use PDF Security & Metadata Manager

Upload one PDF or create the local sample document. The tool inspects file-system properties, readable PDF document properties, supported metadata fields, page count, PDF version where available, page dimension summary, and password-protection status. Choose Preserve metadata, Edit metadata, or Remove supported metadata. Review the original-versus-new comparison, copy or download the metadata summary as JSON or TXT, set a safe output filename, and click Apply changes only when ready. The final PDF is generated locally after that action, not on every field edit.

PDF Security & Metadata Manager example

A client report may still show an old internal title, an outdated author, or creator software from the original draft. A proposal can be updated with the correct client-facing title and author before sending. A contract, invoice, marketing document, academic file, internal record, or public download can be inspected for supported metadata and exported with edited or cleaned fields while keeping the original file unchanged.

Helpful questions

No. PDF inspection, metadata comparison, metadata editing, metadata cleanup, and export run locally in your browser.

Can PDF metadata be removed?

Yes. The tool can remove supported document metadata fields from the exported PDF. This is not forensic sanitization and does not guarantee removal of every hidden value in every PDF.
