What is PDF Metadata Viewer & Properties Inspector?

PDF Metadata Viewer inspects the internal document information dictionary and XMP metadata embedded in PDF files. View title, author, subject, keywords, creator application, PDF producer version, creation/modification timestamps, and security permissions.

Unlike legacy online utilities that upload sensitive media and documents to remote cloud storage, Shadow Toolkit executes this entire operation directly within your browser's local runtime. Your raw data never crosses the network.
