Three steps
Drop the PDF file you want to clean.
Check what the document currently reveals.
Run the clean-up and download the anonymised document.
Differences
All three layers, not one
The document record, the XMP block and the internal identifier are handled together: clearing the first alone leaves your name in the file.
No signature added
The cleaned document does not name the tool it went through, unless you ask for it.
What people ask us
What does a PDF reveal about me?
Usually: your name or your organisation's, the software used, the creation date and the date of the last change. Sometimes the title of a document you started from, and an identifier linking two versions of the same file.
Why do some tools fail to erase everything?
Because a PDF keeps this information in three places: a plain record, a parallel XML block and an internal identifier. A clean-up that only handles the record leaves the rest readable inside the file, even though the properties look empty.
Is the document content changed?
No. Pages, text, images and layout are kept exactly as they are. Only the information the document carries about itself is removed.
Does this make the document truly anonymous?
It removes what the file states about itself. A name written in the text of a page, a visible signature or a logo remain: they are part of the content, and redaction is what handles those.
Can I check that the clean-up worked?
Yes. The tool shows what it found before removing it, and the downloaded document's properties can be reopened in any reader to confirm.
Are my files sent to a server?
No. Your document is not transmitted to us: we know neither its name nor its contents. There is nothing to delete afterwards.
