I want to share a PDF publicly, but I’m worried the author name and company details in the metadata will expose me.

This feature helps you review and remove identifying PDF metadata—such as author name and company details—before you share a file publicly. It reduces the risk of unintentionally exposing personal or organizational information while keeping the document content unchanged.

When you publish a PDF, hidden metadata can reveal details like the author name, company, software used, and timestamps. This feature lets you inspect common metadata fields so you know exactly what information is embedded in the file. You can then remove or replace selected fields to prevent accidental attribution or disclosure. The goal is to support safer public sharing without altering the visible text, images, or layout of the PDF. It is especially useful when distributing documents to unknown audiences, posting files online, or sending attachments to public mailing lists. By providing a clear review step, it helps you confirm what will be exposed before the file leaves your control. You can use it as a final “pre-publication” check in your workflow to avoid doxxing risks and privacy leaks. It also supports organizations that must comply with privacy policies or anonymize submissions. After processing, you can export a cleaned version of the PDF intended for public distribution. This reduces reputational and security risks caused by overlooked document properties.
