About Remove PDF Metadata
Remove PDF metadata — the title, author, creator application, producer, keywords and revision dates that sit in the document's information dictionary. It is a thirty-second job before you send something out, and it is the field people forget when they mean to protect their privacy.
Cleaning author and company details out of a document before it goes public.

Remove PDF Metadata: questions
- Does removing metadata delete the visible text?
- No. Metadata lives in a separate information dictionary; the pages, text and images are copied unchanged.
- Is metadata really gone, or just hidden?
- The fields are removed from the output file. Some producers also write XMP packets; if you want everything swept, run Sanitize PDF afterwards.
- Why does my PDF still show a title after stripping it?
- Browsers and readers often show the file name when the title field is empty. Rename the file itself if that is what you are seeing.
