What is hidden data in a PDF?
PDF files often hide metadata (author name, creating software, date), embedded files/attachments, form field data and comments. Cleaning these before sharing is important for privacy.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does Sanitize PDF remove?
Hidden metadata, comments, form field data and attachments that a PDF can carry, so you can share it without leaking private details.
Does my file get uploaded?
No. The PDF is processed in your own browser with pdf-lib. Your file never leaves your device.
What does the sanitization report show?
The report lists what was cleared, for example the metadata found, or that no notable metadata was found, so you can check what was removed before downloading.
Does sanitizing change the visible pages?
No. The page content stays exactly the same. Only hidden data such as metadata, comments, form fields and attachments is removed.
