I don’t want the PDF to reveal which software or tool was used to create it.

This feature removes or suppresses PDF metadata that can reveal the creator application or tool used to generate the file. It helps you share PDFs more privately and present documents more neutrally to recipients.

PDF files often contain metadata fields that identify the software used to create or modify them. This feature lets you prevent that information from being exposed when others open the PDF or inspect its properties. When enabled, the system sanitizes relevant metadata fields before the PDF is saved or shared, reducing traces of the originating tool. It is useful when you need to distribute documents without revealing internal tooling, workflows, or third-party services. It also supports compliance or procurement scenarios where recipients should evaluate content without bias from the authoring application. Teams can use it to standardize outbound PDFs so they appear consistent regardless of how they were produced. This can be applied to client deliverables, legal documents, academic submissions, or public releases where privacy and neutrality matter. The result is a cleaner PDF that focuses attention on the content rather than its production details. Use this feature as part of a broader document hygiene process, alongside removing personal information and minimizing unnecessary metadata.
