1 min read·25 July 2026

Want to know who created a PDF, when it was made, what page format it uses, or which software generated it? PDFrust's info tool gives you a complete overview of all PDF properties.

What information is in PDF properties?

Creation date and last modification date. Author and organisation. Software that generated the PDF (e.g. "Microsoft Word 16.0" or "Adobe InDesign CC"). Page dimensions (width × height in mm or points). Page count. PDF version (1.4, 1.7, PDF/A). Colour space (RGB or CMYK). Compression method.

How to view PDF info

Upload your PDF to the info tool. An overview of all available metadata and technical properties appears immediately. No installation needed — analysis runs entirely in the browser.

Checking print-ready files

Print shops specify page size in mm, colour space (CMYK for offset, RGB for digital), PDF version, and resolution. The info tool lets you quickly verify your file meets those specifications before submission.

Clear metadata after viewing

If the info tool reveals personal information you don't want to share (author, organisation), use the metadata tool to wipe those fields before sending the document.
