PDF Information Viewer: Audit Metadata, Security, and File Properties
Fetch hidden structural properties, security permission bitmasks, and deep file layout details instantly. Our PDF information viewer parses the underlying document tree to provide a comprehensive breakdown of metadata tables, embedded font geometries, color spaces, and exact object counts. Whether you need to troubleshoot a document that won't print or verify the security settings of a sensitive contract, this tool provides a transparent audit of your PDF.
Unlike standard file properties viewers, our utility conducts a structural deep scan to reveal the technical DNA of your document, ensuring you have the complete picture before sharing or archiving your files.

In-Browser Processing: Fast, interactive layout & text editing right in your canvas.
Key Features
When you upload a file into the Info Inspector workspace, the analysis engine initializes three foundational auditing layers:
1. Structural Deep Scan
Go beyond the basics. Our engine audits the internal layout to reveal hidden streams, total object counts, and specific PDF version specifications. This is essential for developers and IT professionals who need to diagnose why a PDF might be behaving unexpectedly or failing to render in certain applications.
2. Full Font Inventory
Never worry about missing fonts again. Our utility lists all embedded, subsetted, or system fallback fonts used across the document layers. This helps you identify potential display issues or licensing requirements before the document reaches its final destination.
3. Detailed Security Audit
Transparency is vital for secure document management. The tool displays active restriction flags, encryption strengths (e.g., 128-bit vs. 256-bit AES), and granular user access rights, such as whether a file allows printing, commenting, or high-resolution content extraction.
Detailed Tool Breakdown
Optimize your document compliance, archival, and troubleshooting workflows by utilizing these advanced metadata auditing features:
- Metadata Table Extraction: View and copy document titles, author fields, creation dates, and modification timestamps hidden in the XMP metadata.
- Color Space Analysis: Check if a document is optimized for digital screens (RGB) or professional printing (CMYK/Grayscale), helping you avoid color profile errors.
- Page-Level Statistics: See the exact dimensions of every page and the complexity of its content, which helps in diagnosing large files that are slow to load.
- Privacy: Your files are processed on our own server and are not shared with third-party cloud services. Temporary files are deleted automatically.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this tool show me who created the document?
Yes. If the author included metadata in the document, our tool will extract and display the "Author," "Creator," and "Producer" fields. Please note that this data is user-provided and can sometimes be missing or generic depending on the software used to create the PDF.
Why do I need to check the "Security Audit" for a PDF?
Checking security settings is crucial for understanding what a recipient can do with your file. A quick audit reveals if you have accidentally enabled "Copying" or "Printing" restrictions, or conversely, if a file you received is locked and prevents the actions you need to perform (like highlighting or printing).
