Frequently Asked Questions

What lives in PDF metadata? What can it leak?
Title, author, subject, keywords, creator software, and timestamps. Leak points: a real name in Author, internal system names in Producer, the document’s timeline. Clean it before publishing — same tier as stripping photo EXIF.
Can editing metadata prove authenticity?
No — metadata is freely editable and is not evidence; legal forensics rely on digital signatures and trusted timestamps. And conversely, metadata is publishing hygiene, not a privacy shield.
Why is there still info in file properties after cleaning?
Metadata lives in more than the info dictionary: an XMP stream is a second set (this tool handles both), and documents may also carry attachments, hidden layers, and annotations. The tool states its scope; deep cleaning means re-export or specialized tools.
