What The Viewer Checks

PDF Metadata Viewer reads standard PDF properties such as title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, page count, dates, file size, and encryption status. It is useful before publishing, sending, archiving, or cleaning a PDF.

Safe Text And JSON Output

Metadata is shown as text and serialized JSON, not injected as raw HTML. You can copy or download the JSON when you need an audit trail or want to compare metadata before and after cleanup.

Why Fields May Be Missing

Blank fields are common. Many PDFs never set author, title, keywords, or dates, and some tools write metadata into complex XMP packets. This viewer focuses on standard fields that can be read safely in the browser.

FAQ

What PDF metadata can I see?

The viewer shows standard fields such as title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, creation and modification dates, encryption status, page count, file name, and file size.

Can I export PDF metadata?

Yes. After opening the PDF locally, you can copy the metadata JSON or download it as a `.json` file for review or record keeping.

Is raw PDF metadata rendered as HTML?

No. Metadata values are displayed as safe text and serialized JSON, so embedded metadata is not injected into the page as executable HTML.

Why might metadata fields be blank?

Many PDFs simply do not include title, author, keyword, or date fields. Blank values usually mean the field was never set, not that the viewer failed.

Can the viewer open encrypted PDFs?

Some encrypted PDFs expose limited metadata, but password-protected or restricted documents may fail to load. Unlock the PDF first if you need a complete local inspection.
