What this does to your file

Document metadata travels with a file and is visible to anyone who opens its properties. Editing it here rewrites those fields; the page content is untouched.

Common questions

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. The page loads a PDF engine into your browser and the document is read from disk by that engine. There is no upload endpoint, and once the page has loaded you can disconnect from the network and the tool still works.

Why does my file show someone else's name as author?

Most editors write the account name of whoever created or last saved the document. Clearing the author field removes it.

Does this remove everything identifying?

It handles the standard document information fields. Content inside the pages themselves is not touched — use Redact for that.

What are creation and modification dates used for?

They are timestamps written by the producing application. They are stored in the file and are visible to any reader.
