When to use PDF Privacy Inspector

Best for

Use this before sharing a document when you want to see common hidden or interactive structures without changing the source PDF.

What the output changes

The inspector reports standard metadata, annotations, name trees, automatic actions, XMP metadata and AcroForm presence locally in your browser.

Check before sharing

A clean report is not a proof that a PDF contains no sensitive information. Visible page content and uncommon custom structures still need human review.

How PDF Privacy Inspector works in FileCarpenter

Inspect a PDF for author and creator metadata, annotations, name trees, automatic actions, XMP metadata and AcroForm presence without modifying the source document.

The focused PDF Tools workspace is designed for a single job at a time. It does not require an account and does not add a FileCarpenter watermark to the downloaded result.
