XMP metadata (raw)
How to use the PDF Metadata Viewer
- Choose or drop a PDF.
- Read the document information, dates, version, page count and XMP data.
- Copy the summary or download it as JSON/CSV.
Why creators use it
- Check that an e-book or media kit does not reveal a personal name in the Author field.
- Confirm which app produced a client’s PDF.
- Audit titles and keywords before uploading PDFs to your website (search engines can show the Title field).
Good to know
- Many PDFs leave fields empty. Empty fields are shown as “Not set”, never guessed.
- The version shown is the one declared in the file header (and the catalog, when it overrides it).
- Encrypted PDFs that need an open password can be read after you enter it; nothing is saved.
Frequently asked questions
Can it edit or remove metadata?
This tool only reads. To remove metadata, re-save the PDF with a tool such as the PDF Compressor, or edit it in a PDF editor.
What is XMP?
An XML metadata block many apps embed in addition to the classic Info fields. It can contain extra history, such as the original creator tool.
