PDF Metadata
Inspect PDF document metadata, page count, file size, encryption status, and version details online.
Run tool
Inspect the embedded properties and technical structure of a PDF document directly through your browser interface. When you provide a PDF file, this online tool reads the document structure and extracts key metadata fields, including author details, title, subject, creation software, and modification dates. It also gathers essential technical specifications such as the total page count, document byte size, encryption status, and PDF version header. Metadata entries with special characters are converted to readable text, while any unreadable tags are skipped so the inspection continues. If your file contains standard document properties, they appear in a clean, structured overview ready for immediate review. This utility helps you verify document attributes before sharing, audit publication details, or check whether a file has password protection applied. Simply select your PDF file and run the inspection to view its complete properties.
