PDF METADATA EXPLAINED

What is PDF Metadata?

A PDF (Portable Document Format) file does not just contain visible text, images, and pages. It also embeds hidden document properties known as PDF metadata. This information is automatically written when a document is generated, exported, or converted by word processors, PDF editors, or desktop publishing software.

📄 Document Information Dictionary
  • Author: Full name or computer username of document creator
  • Title & Subject: Internal document titles and summaries
  • Creator: Software used to draft document (Word, InDesign)
  • Producer: PDF conversion engine or printer driver
  • Keywords: Indexed tags and search keywords
⚙️ Embedded Timestamps & XMP
  • Creation Date: Exact timestamp document was first generated
  • Modification Date: Exact timestamp of last edit
  • XMP Metadata Stream: Extensible XML metadata payloads
  • File History: Application versions and revision logs
