A practical guide

Save a report of the standard PDF fields.

  1. Choose a PDF and run Read metadata.
  2. Review the standard information fields in the inspection result.
  3. Download the JSON report if needed; use Edit PDF Metadata separately to change fields.

Try this example

Inspect one PDF and download its JSON report. Check the reported title, author and dates; the inspection does not create a changed PDF.

Before

  • Report.pdf

After

  • Title / Author fields
Input and expected output for this task. Illustrative example.

Before you start: Inspection does not change the PDF and is not a complete security or privacy audit. Empty standard fields do not prove that all metadata or personal information is absent.

Edit standard metadata fields
What you get

Inspect standard PDF information fields locally. This is not a complete security or privacy audit.

Limits and important details

Editing: 10 MiB, 200 pages, 2048 characters per field, 20 MiB output. Dates use UTC timestamps. XMP and other metadata are not synchronized or sanitized. Digital signatures may be invalidated. Inspection does not certify a document is safe or enumerate every attachment, script or hidden object. File names and report text remain local.

Example

Inspect a report and review its standard title and author. Empty fields do not prove the file contains no private information.
