Tips for better results

  • Metadata often contains the original author name and software from whichever computer created the file — worth checking before sending a document outside your organisation.
  • Clearing the title field matters more than people expect: many PDF viewers show the title, not the filename, in the window tab.
  • Metadata is separate from page content. Editing it never changes what is printed on the pages.

Examples

Removing a previous employer's name from a CV

Open the PDF here, clear the author, title and producer fields, and download. The visible CV is unchanged; the hidden traces are gone.
