What is PDF MetaClean?

PDF MetaClean is a free, open-source command-line tool that strips sensitive metadata from PDF files before sharing: author, producing software and timestamps. It first audits the hidden metadata, then removes the document Info dictionary at the byte level so viewers cannot re-insert it, with an optional self-check to verify. It supports both a safe-copy mode and in-place cleaning, and runs entirely on your machine with no upload.
