PDF Metadata Viewer

Every PDF file contains hidden information called metadata – like title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, creation date, modified date and PDF version. The PDF Metadata Viewer by Smart Maker helps you read and view all this information instantly directly in your browser without uploading file to any server.

What metadata does this tool show?

• Document info – Title, Author, Subject and Keywords
• Creator and Producer – which software created the PDF
• Creation and Modified date of PDF
• PDF Version – like 1.4, 1.7, 2.0
• Technical details – total pages, file size, AcroForm, Signatures
• XFA, Collection, Language and Trapped info
• PDF Fingerprint – unique hash of the file
• Raw Info and XMP Metadata – complete raw values stored inside PDF

Why check PDF metadata?

Metadata reveals who created a document, when it was created and which tool was used. For students and office work it helps verify assignment details. For businesses it helps audit reports, invoices and contracts before sharing. For privacy, you can check if your personal name, email or software info is hidden inside PDF before publishing online.

It is also useful for developers, editors and QA teams who need to inspect PDF version and technical flags without opening the file in Adobe Acrobat.

What technical details are shown?

• Total pages and exact file size with formatted size
• Is AcroForm present – whether PDF has fillable forms
• Is Signatures present – whether digitally signed
• Is XFA present – advanced XML forms used in some PDFs
• Is Collection present – PDF portfolio or collection
• Language tag and Trapped status stored in document
• PDF Fingerprint for document identification

How to view PDF metadata

Privacy and limitations

All metadata reading happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your PDF is never uploaded to any server, no file is stored and private documents stay safe. Only resume and biodata need login on Smart Maker.

The tool reads standard PDF Info dictionary and XMP metadata. Some scanned PDFs or protected PDFs may have limited or empty metadata. Date shown depends on what the creator software saved inside the file.
