About this tool
Read a PDF’s metadata — page count, title, author, creator, producer and creation/modified dates — without leaving the browser.
PDF Metadata Viewer is a diagnostic tool that inspects and displays the hidden metadata embedded in PDF documents. Every PDF contains metadata fields like author name, creation date, modification date, title, subject, keywords, and software used to create it. This tool reveals all of that information in a clean, readable format, giving you complete visibility into a PDF's background information and history.
Understanding PDF metadata is valuable for document forensics, verifying file authenticity, identifying original creators, checking modification timestamps, and managing document libraries. Whether you're an IT professional auditing document workflows, a legal expert establishing document provenance, or simply curious about a PDF's hidden details, PDF Metadata Viewer provides instant, comprehensive results. The inspection happens entirely in your browser—your PDF is never uploaded or stored anywhere.
