Frequently Asked Questions

What information is hidden inside PDF metadata?

PDF metadata stores non-visual background details such as author names, software tools, operating system environments, document titles, exact creation times, and modification histories. In many instances, internal company file paths, printer configurations, and embedded software licenses remain silently recorded within the file structure.

Why is unstripped PDF metadata a serious privacy risk?

Sharing PDFs containing unstripped metadata can inadvertently expose real personal names, internal network folder structures, organizational hierarchies, and exact timestamps to competitors or bad actors. Sanitizing these background tags prevents identity leakage, phishing profiling, and unauthorized digital fingerprinting before public distribution.

What is the difference between Creation and Modification dates?

Creation date marks the exact original moment a PDF was generated by the authoring software. Modification date updates whenever edits, text additions, watermarks, or security signatures are applied. Keeping these dates mismatched or outdated can expose document revision sequences during legal or official filings.

Are my confidential documents uploaded to any remote server?

No, zero bytes are transmitted across any network or cloud infrastructure. All parsing, rendering, dictionary editing, and binary saving run strictly in-memory inside your device browser using WebAssembly and client-side JavaScript. Your confidential documents remain strictly private and never leave your hardware.

Will modified metadata remain compatible with standard PDF readers?

Yes, all metadata adjustments strictly follow Adobe PDF ISO 32000 specifications and standard XMP schemas. The exported files open seamlessly in Adobe Acrobat, Google Chrome, Apple Preview, Foxit, and mobile PDF viewers without causing visual distortion or document corruption.
