FAQ

What metadata can I see?

Common visible fields include title, author, creator, producer, and creation/modification dates.

Is the PDF uploaded?

No. The file is read locally by your browser.

Why are some fields missing?

Some PDFs compress or encrypt metadata, so lightweight scanning may not reveal every property.

Why PDF metadata matters

PDF metadata can include title, author, producer, creation date, modified date, page count, and other document properties. Checking it before publishing helps catch outdated titles, incorrect authorship, internal draft labels, or missing document descriptions that may appear in search results and file previews.

PDF review workflow

Upload the file, review the extracted fields, then compare them with the visible cover page or document title. If a field looks wrong, update the original source document or use a trusted PDF editor before sharing the file publicly. For accessibility and SEO, pair clean metadata with descriptive file names and readable document text.

Safe handling reminder

Do not upload confidential contracts, medical files, government IDs, or private business documents unless you are allowed to inspect them in this browser. Keep a local copy of the original PDF before making any changes elsewhere.
