PDF metadata is hidden information embedded within a PDF document that describes the file's properties and history. This data is stored separately from the visible content and includes details about the document's creation and authorship.
PDF metadata typically includes:
- Title, author, and subject
- Keywords and description
- Creation and modification dates
- PDF version and producer software
- Page count and dimensions

PDF Metadata Viewer FAQ
Why would I need to view PDF metadata?
Viewing PDF metadata is useful for verifying document authenticity, checking authorship, understanding document history, forensic analysis, and ensuring privacy before sharing (some PDFs contain hidden personal information).
Can I view the actual PDF content?
This tool focuses on metadata extraction only. To view the actual PDF content, use a PDF reader like Adobe Acrobat, Chrome's built-in viewer, or other PDF viewing software.
Does it work with encrypted PDFs?
Basic metadata can often be extracted from encrypted PDFs, but some protected documents may not reveal all their metadata without the proper password.
What if there's no metadata?
Some PDFs have minimal or no metadata. This is common with scanned documents or PDFs created with certain tools. We'll show whatever information is available.
Can I edit or remove metadata?
This is a viewer only - you cannot edit metadata here. To edit PDF metadata, use tools like Adobe Acrobat, ExifTool, or online PDF editors.
