Scrub PDF Metadata
Strip author, title, subject, keywords, creator, producer, creation date, and modification date from a PDF — for sharing externally without leaking who made it or when.

How does the Scrub PDF Metadata work?
Strip every metadata field from a PDF — Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator (the source app), Producer (the PDF library), Creation Date, Modification Date — and remove the XMP metadata stream (which can carry richer fields like GPS coordinates from a phone-scanned PDF, or change-tracking entries from Word). Useful before publicly sharing internal documents that might leak who made them, when, on what software. Note: this does not affect content; only header metadata. To strip embedded usernames in document content (e.g. comment authors), run Export Annotations to JSON first to audit what's embedded.

Hand-picked tools that pair well with this one — same audience, same intent.
Scan a PDF for SSNs, credit-card numbers, email addresses, and phone numbers — report locations with redaction-ready coordinates so you can target a redaction pass.
View and edit a PDF's embedded metadata — title, author, subject, keywords, creator software. Drop several PDFs to bulk-apply the same metadata and download a ZIP.
Provide a regex; every match is rasterised over with a black box on each page. Catch SSNs, internal codes, names, anything that follows a stable pattern.
Genuinely remove sensitive content by rasterising the affected pages and burning black rectangles into the bitmap — the underlying text is gone, not just hidden.
One-shot cleanup: strip every annotation, form field, and JavaScript script from a PDF. Hand off a clean copy for publishing, archiving, or sharing externally.
Apply best-effort PDF/X-1a metadata — embed XMP conformance, set OutputIntent placeholder, and update producer string for print-pre-flight readiness.
Add a password to a PDF so only people with the password can open it — strong AES-256 encryption.
A book club reading log — book title and author, meeting date, members present, key themes, favorite quotes, the club's rating, discussion notes, and next month's pick.
