Read-only scan — your file is never modified or uploaded. Checks document metadata (author, software used, etc.) and page text for emails, Thai phone numbers, and Thai ID numbers.

Check a PDF for two things people forget before sharing a document: hidden document metadata (author name, the software that created it, timestamps) and emails, Thai phone numbers, or Thai ID numbers sitting in the page text. Read-only — your file is never modified or uploaded.

How to use this tool

  1. 1

    Upload your PDF

    Click the upload area or drag in the document you want to check.

  2. 2

    Review the report

    See every metadata field and PII match, with the page number for each text hit.

  3. 3

    Fix what you find

    Jump to Edit Metadata or Auto-Redact PII to clean up anything flagged.

Why use this tool

Nothing leaves your device

The scan runs entirely in your browser — your document is never uploaded, even to check it.

Checks metadata, not just text

A PDF's Author/Producer/timestamps often leak a real name or local file path most people never think to check.

Shows exactly what matched

Each finding shows the actual matched text and page number, not just a count, so you can judge it yourself.

Common use cases

Before sending a document externally

Quick check for a leftover author name or contact details before it leaves your organization.

Before publishing a report

Catch metadata or contact info that shouldn't be public before posting a document online.

Reviewing a document from someone else

See what a PDF you received actually reveals about who made it and when.

Pro tips

  • This scan is a best-effort check, not a guarantee — always review a sensitive document yourself too.
  • Found metadata you don't want? Use Edit Metadata to clear it.
  • Found PII in the page text? Use Auto-Redact PII to black it out automatically, or Redact PDF to mark it by hand.
