Inspect PDF metadata online: title, author, subject, keywords, producer, creation and modification dates, page count, page size and encryption status.
The PDF Metadata Extractor reads the hidden document information stored inside a PDF: title, author, subject, keywords, the producer and creator applications, creation and modification dates, page count, page dimensions and whether the file is encrypted. It is aimed at anyone who needs to verify who created a document, when, and with what software, without opening a full PDF editor.
The file is parsed entirely in your browser, so you can check the properties of confidential contracts, submissions or scanned records without sending them to a third-party server. The results are displayed in a clear, readable list, useful for due diligence, plagiarism checks, or simply confirming a PDF's origin before relying on it.
Title, author, dates, producer, page count and page size are all shown together, so you do not need multiple tools or a desktop PDF reader's properties dialog to get the full picture.
Seeing the producer and creator application can reveal whether a PDF was generated by Word, a scanner, or PDF software, which is useful when verifying the authenticity of a submitted document.
Parsing happens locally, which matters when checking sensitive contracts, legal filings or personal records that you would rather not upload to an unknown server.
Every PDF can carry a metadata block with title, author, subject, keywords, the producer library that wrote the file, the creating application, and creation and modification timestamps. Not every field is always filled in — many PDFs exported from simple tools leave author or subject blank.
The author field reflects whatever was set in the software or account used to create the file, such as a company template's default name or a colleague's user profile, rather than the person who last edited the content. It is a stored label, not a verified signature.
This tool reads only the structural metadata, not the visible text or images inside the pages. To search for specific words or extract tables from the content itself, a text-focused tool such as PDF to Word or PDF to CSV is the better fit.
The document information dictionary holds title, author, subject, keywords, the creating application, the producer library and creation plus modification timestamps.
The author field is inherited from the account or template that created the source document, so exported files often carry the original writer's name until it is edited.
