What metadata does your PDF contain?

Most people don't realise how much information is hidden in a PDF file.

Author & Creator

The name of the person who created the document and the software used. A CV exported from your work laptop might show your employer's software license name.

Creation & Modified Dates

Exact timestamps showing when the document was created and last modified. This can reveal when you prepared a document, which may not match when you say you prepared it.

Software & Version

The Producer field shows which software generated the PDF — Microsoft Word 2019, Adobe Acrobat, LibreOffice, and so on. This can reveal what tools your organisation uses internally.

When should you clean PDF metadata?

Before sending a CV

Your resume may contain your previous employer's name in the Creator field or show that it was last modified at 2am.

Before sharing contracts

Legal documents may carry internal document tracking codes, author names, or company-specific metadata.

Before submitting assignments

Submitted PDFs can show when the document was created — revealing if it was written the night before the deadline.

Before publishing reports

Published PDFs often carry internal author names, draft revision numbers, and software identifiers that weren't meant to be public.
