Free PDF Metadata Viewer Online

The PDF metadata viewer reads the eight standard Document Info fields: title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, and creation and modification dates. Values appear as found. A blank means no supported value was found; the viewer does not infer missing information from page content.

The report also shows page count, Info entry count, detectable document XMP, the number of pages with XMP references, and signature-field presence. These observations do not establish ownership, identify the creator, authenticate a signature, or explain why software wrote a value.

The PDF metadata viewer never rewrites a field or creates a download. After inspection, use the editor to correct standard Document Info or the remover to create a verified copy without the supported metadata structures.

Document Info is a dictionary of familiar PDF properties. XMP is a separate XML-based metadata packet with a broader data model. A file can contain either, both, or neither; values in the two sources may agree or conflict.

This PDF metadata viewer reports supported Info values and XMP presence, not every property inside XMP packets. Detecting a stream does not reveal all its nested values, and changing Info alone does not change XMP.

Some applications group PDF metadata, file-system details, and document settings under Properties. This PDF metadata viewer reads only the listed PDF structures. Folder paths, operating-system ownership, and cloud activity logs are outside the file bytes and outside this report.

Inspect the exact file you plan to share. Check title and author, private project names in subject or keywords, unexpected creator/producer labels, and confusing dates. Note XMP separately: it can retain values that differ from Document Info. Later exports can replace metadata.

Decide which values are useful, inaccurate, or unnecessary. Routine creator and producer labels are often expected; their presence alone does not prove a privacy breach. Apply your publishing or records policy and confirm important values with the document owner.

Signed PDFs remain read-only; encrypted PDFs are rejected because decryption is unsupported. Other supported PDFs can move from the report to the editor or remover without reselection. Recheck the final file after external printing, export, merging, or uploading, which may write new metadata.

Use the editor to correct standard Document Info: for example, a public report title, organization author, subject, or keywords. It verifies the requested fields after saving and preserves existing XMP, so the two metadata sources are not automatically synchronized.

Use the remover to clear complete Document Info and detectable document/page XMP references. It rewrites and verifies the output before download, which can change file size and byte layout. Attachments, annotations, visible content, custom objects, revision artifacts, and external records remain outside that guarantee.

Return to the PDF metadata viewer for a read-only check. The related links below take you to the appropriate next step: edit standard fields or remove the supported structures. Inspection alone never changes your file.
