What it does

Every PDF carries hidden details: title, author, subject, keywords and the app that created it. They appear in document properties and search results, and sometimes leak personal information, such as your computer's user name in the author field.

This tool reads the current values, lets you edit or clear them, and saves a new PDF without touching the content.
