Sanitize PDF Metadata

Every PDF secretly carries hidden metadata: author names, company, software version, GPS coordinates, and revision history. When you share a document externally, this invisible data can expose who created it, when, and on which computer — a serious privacy and security risk in legal, HR, and financial contexts.

DocInspector performs a deep forensic sanitization of the entire PDF internal structure — removing XMP metadata, document info dictionaries, embedded thumbnails, and custom object streams — while leaving the visible content 100% intact.

• 1Drag & drop a folder containing hundreds of PDFs onto the tool.
• 2The engine recursively scans every file and extracts the full metadata tree.
• 3All metadata fields are wiped from the internal structure.
• 4Clean files are saved, preserving your exact folder hierarchy.
• 5Files that fail are isolated in an automatic _Errors folder with a log file.
