Will sanitizing a PDF change the visible document content?

No. Sanitization only removes hidden metadata and embedded content. All visible text, images, and page layout remain completely unchanged.

Why should I sanitize PDFs before sharing?

PDFs often contain hidden information like your name, organization, software used, edit history, and GPS data. Sanitizing removes these before sharing to protect your identity and privacy.

Can removed metadata be recovered after sanitization?

No. Sanitization permanently deletes the selected metadata and hidden content. Always keep a backup of the original document if you may need the metadata later.

Is PDF sanitization the same as PDF redaction?

No. Sanitization removes hidden metadata and embedded content that isn't visible on the page. Redaction permanently removes visible content (text, images) from the document itself. Use both tools together for maximum privacy.

Q: What hidden data does PDF sanitization remove?

Sanitization removes metadata (author name, creator software, timestamps), JavaScript code, embedded files, hyperlinks, and annotations/comments. You can select which items to remove.

Clean hidden data from PDF documents before sharing. Remove author information, creation timestamps, JavaScript code, embedded files, hyperlinks, and annotations. All sanitization happens locally in your browser — your files are never uploaded, ensuring your privacy is protected from start to finish.
