View PDF Metadata — Frequently Asked Questions

What metadata does a PDF contain?

Standard PDF metadata includes title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, creation date, and modification date. Many PDFs also contain custom info-dict entries (like department, project code, or internal IDs) and an XMP metadata stream.

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?

No. FormatFuse reads your PDF entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server. Close the tab and the file is gone from memory.

Why are some fields empty?

PDF authoring tools are not required to populate every metadata field. Older PDFs or scanned documents often have only Producer set, while modern ones usually include title and author.

Can I copy the metadata as JSON?

Yes — use the Copy as JSON button to copy the full metadata object to your clipboard. Useful for bug reports, cataloguing, or piping into another tool.
