Remove hidden data

Before you send a PDF, see what else it carries: whose name is on it, what made it, earlier versions of the text, scripts, attached files. Then take it out.

    Earlier versions, too

    Many apps save a PDF by adding changes to the end, so the old text stays readable inside. Cleaning writes the file afresh, keeping only what the pages show.

    The pages stay the same

    Text, images, links and form fields are untouched, and the file still opens everywhere. Only the hidden extras you pick come out.

    Never uploaded

    Checking and cleaning happen in this tab, so the private details you’re removing never leave your device on the way.
