Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of hidden data can a PDF contain?+

PDFs can carry author names, software versions, edit history, embedded scripts, and even GPS location data | all invisible unless explicitly inspected.

Why does this matter before sharing a document?+

Hidden metadata can unintentionally reveal who authored or edited a document, what software was used, or other details you may not want to share publicly.

Does sanitizing change the visible content of my PDF?+

No, only hidden metadata and embedded scripts are removed | the visible pages and content remain unchanged.
