PDF info

See a PDF’s page count, page size, version, author and creation dates — read in your browser, without uploading the file.

Common questions

  • The page count, the size of the pages (named when it matches A4, US Letter and similar), the PDF version, the document-information fields (title, author, subject, keywords, creator and producer), the created and modified dates, the file size, and whether the file contains a fillable form.

What this shows

Page count, the size of the pages (named when it matches a standard paper size), the PDF version, and the document-information fields — title, author, subject, keywords, the application that created it and the software that wrote the file — plus created and modified dates and whether the file is a fillable form.

Why the metadata matters

Those fields travel with the file. A PDF exported from a word processor often carries the author's name, the original file name as the title and the software that made it. If you are about to share a document, check this page first — and use Edit PDF Metadata to change or remove anything you would rather not send.

Password-protected files

A PDF that needs a password to open cannot be read. If the restriction is only on printing or copying, the Unlock PDF tool can remove it first.
