FAQ
- Are PDFs uploaded?
- No. pdf-lib runs in your browser; PDFs never leave your device.
- What metadata is removed?
- All Info dict fields (Title / Author / Subject / Keywords / Creator / Producer / CreationDate / ModDate) plus the XMP metadata stream.
- What about PII embedded inside the page content?
- Page content (text and images) is untouched. Names that appear in the document body itself need separate editing.
- Does it work on password-protected PDFs?
- No. Unlock them first with the PDF unlock tool.
