What is PDF Metadata?
Every PDF file contains hidden metadata — information about the document stored inside the file but not visibly shown in the content. This includes the title, author, creator application, creation date, modification date, page count, and page dimensions.
What Information Can You See?
- Title & Author: Who created the document and its official title.
- Creator & Producer: The software used to create and convert the PDF.
- Creation Date: When the PDF was originally generated.
- Modification Date: The last time the file was edited.
- Page Count: Total number of pages in the document.
- Page Dimensions: Width and height in points, millimeters, and inches.
- PDF Version: The PDF specification version (1.4, 1.7, 2.0, etc.).
