Frequently asked questions

Are values made up if a field is empty?

No, if a metadata field isn't present in the PDF it's shown as not available, never filled in with a made-up value.

Does it read every possible metadata field?

It reads the standard information dictionary fields (title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer and dates), not custom or advanced XMP metadata.
