About the PDF Metadata Viewer

Every PDF carries hidden descriptive data: who created it, which software produced it, when it was written and last modified, and what keywords were attached. This viewer surfaces those fields alongside structural details such as page count and page dimensions.

It is a useful check before you publish a document, because metadata often contains a real name, an internal file path or an old draft title that you would rather not distribute.
