About PDF privacy scanner

A PDF can carry the author name, company, creation software, edit history, attachments and JavaScript without showing any of it. Scan a file to see exactly what it reveals, then remove it all before the document goes out.

  • Run it on anything you publish or send outside the company.
  • Cleaning does not change the visible pages.
  • Pair with Redact PDF for sensitive content on the pages themselves.

How to use it

  1. 1Drop a PDF.
  2. 2Read the report of metadata, attachments and scripts.
  3. 3Clean and download a version without them.
