PDF metadata FAQ
Is every metadata field deleted?
No. Standard and custom Info fields, XMP packets, annotation author and date fields, and private application records are cleaned. Creator and producer fields are replaced and document dates are reset. Page content, attachment names and contents, and metadata inside embedded image data remain. This is not full anonymization.
Does this remove sensitive text from pages?
No. Metadata cleanup does not redact visible text or images. Use the redaction tool for sensitive areas on the pages.
