โ„น๏ธ PDF Info & Metadata

Inspect a PDF instantly: page count, page size, file size, and the title, author and creator stored inside it.

About this PDF Info & Metadata

PDF Info reads the hidden data stored inside a PDF โ€” how many pages it has, the exact page dimensions in points and millimetres, and the metadata the creating software left behind, such as title, author, creator and dates. It is a quick sanity check before printing, submitting or archiving a document.

How to use it

  1. Choose a PDF file; inspection starts automatically.
  2. Read the page count and page size for print checks.
  3. Check the title, author and creator fields to see where the file came from.
  4. Compare the created and modified dates if you suspect the file was edited.

Example

Before printing, a student confirms a PDF is A4-sized (210 ร— 297 mm) with 12 pages, and sees it was produced by Microsoft Word.

Frequently asked questions

Why are some fields blank (โ€”)?

Many PDFs are created without metadata, or the producing app stripped it. Blank simply means the information was never stored.

Can this show sizes of every page?

It reports page 1, which is the standard reference; most documents use one size throughout.
