PDF Metadata Viewer

A PDF metadata viewer is a tool that allows you to view and extract metadata from PDF files. Metadata is information embedded in a PDF document that provides details about the file, such as the author, title, creation date, and more. The PDF metadata viewer reads and displays this information in a structured format, which is legible by humans.

The PDF metadata viewer supports PDF files (.pdf). You can upload a PDF file to extract and view its metadata. Please note that the amount of metadata extracted may vary depending on the information embedded in the PDF document.

The metadata of a PDF file can contain a variety of information, including:

• Title of the document
• Author of the document
• Subject or description of the document
• Keywords associated with the document
• Software used to create the document
• Date and time the document was created
• Date and time the document was last modified
• Producer of the document

As of the current version, the PDF metadata viewer may not support extracting all metadata fields from a PDF file. Therefore, only a subset of common metadata fields are extracted and displayed.

To prevent sensitive information from being stored in PDF metadata, you can take the following precautions:

• Remove or redact sensitive information before saving the PDF file.
• Use a PDF editor to modify or remove metadata fields.

Extracting PDF metadata can be useful in various scenarios, such as:

1. 1. Archiving: Preserving document information for historical records.
2. 2. Investigation and forensics: Extracting details about the document's creation and editing history, discovering who created it and which software was used.
