Privacy Protection

This tool helps protect your privacy by removing hidden metadata that could reveal sensitive information about you, your organization, or your document creation process.

Understanding PDF Metadata & Privacy
Hidden Information: PDFs can contain metadata like creation dates, software used, document revisions, and even deleted content that's invisible to viewers.
Privacy Risks: Metadata can reveal personal information, company details, file paths, usernames, and document history that you may not want to share.
When to Sanitize: Before sharing documents publicly, submitting to clients, posting online, or any time you need to ensure complete privacy.
Combine with Redaction: Use this tool alongside the Redact tool to remove both hidden metadata and visible sensitive content for complete document sanitization.
