What is PDF metadata and why is it a privacy risk?
PDF metadata is structured data stored inside the PDF file but not visible in the document content itself. It is readable by any PDF reader, metadata extraction tool, or digital forensics software. It can include the real author's name, the exact software and version used, the computer's system clock timestamp, revision history showing earlier drafts, and embedded image EXIF data including GPS coordinates. This metadata is frequently used by forensic investigators, journalists, and opposing counsel to establish document provenance.
