What is PDF Metadata?

Every PDF generated by Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Adobe InDesign, or macOS Preview contains hidden metadata dictionaries. These properties record who created the document, the company or operating system account username, exact editing timestamps, and the specific printer or export driver.

When sharing legal briefs, academic peer-review papers, job applications, or corporate proposals, this invisible data can reveal internal revisions, collaborating authors, and corporate hierarchies. MetaRinse AI cleans both the legacy /Info dictionary and modern XMP metadata streams client-side in your browser.
