FAQ

Remove metadata FAQ

Privacy hygiene.

Does this remove XMP?
Thorough sanitization targets standard XMP and document info fields.
Redaction substitute?
Metadata removal does not delete visible body text—use redaction for secrets on the page.
Geolocation in photos?
If images inside the PDF contain EXIF, consider re-exporting images without EXIF.
Legal hold?
Do not strip metadata if litigation preservation requires original properties.
