Why use PDFQuick for this
Less personal information
Your name, company and software details no longer travel with the document.
Often smaller
Rebuilding the file structure can trim unused data and shrink the size.
Quality untouched
Pages, text and images are unchanged — only the hidden details go.
Completely private
The cleaning happens on your device, with no upload.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is removed?
Title, author, subject, keywords, and the creator and producer software names.
Does it remove visible text?
No. Anything printed on the page stays exactly as it is.
Will it make my file much smaller?
Sometimes a little. For a real size cut, use Compress PDF.
Is it enough for redaction?
No. It removes hidden document details, not sensitive content printed on the page.
