What metadata fields can I see?

The viewer shows file name, file size, page count, title, author, subject, keywords, creator application, PDF producer library, creation date, and modification date.

Why are some fields empty?

PDF metadata is optional. Many PDFs are created without author or title information. Fields shown as 'Not set' were not populated when the PDF was created.

Can I edit the metadata?

This tool is for viewing metadata only. To edit PDF metadata, use a PDF editor such as Adobe Acrobat.

What is the difference between Creator and Producer?

Creator is the application that originally created the document (e.g., Microsoft Word). Producer is the PDF library that converted or generated the PDF file (e.g., Adobe PDF Library, pdf-lib).

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. All metadata extraction is done client-side in your browser using pdf-lib and PDF.js. Your files never leave your device.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser using pdf-lib.
