PDF Metadata Viewer
Select a PDF file and instantly see its title, author, subject, keywords, producer, creator, creation and modification dates, and page count. The file is processed locally with pdf-lib and never uploaded to any server.
How it works
- Select a PDF file from your device using the file picker.
- Your browser reads the file as binary data, and pdf-lib extracts the document information (the document info dictionary).
- The title, author, subject, keywords, producer, creator, dates, and total page count are displayed.
- If the PDF is corrupted or not a valid file, a clear error message is shown instead of incorrect data.
Use cases
- Verify who authored a PDF or which tool generated it before reusing it.
- Check the actual creation date or last-modified date of a document.
- Quickly audit the metadata of PDFs received from third parties before sharing them.
- Check whether a PDF retains sensitive metadata (author, software used) before publishing it.
