Fonctionnement

How does this tool work?

The engine loads the document structure and gathers properties that can be inspected locally. It examines pages, document metadata, form fields, annotations and several entries related to JavaScript or attachments. This inspection is neither antivirus scanning nor a full PDF compliance validation.

Use cases

Diagnose a document

Quickly check the overall structure of a PDF before processing.

Check metadata

Identify title, author and other document information before sharing.

Prepare a pipeline

Use document information to decide which transformations to apply next.

  • Dimensions are displayed in millimeters to make page formats easier to identify.
  • To remove active elements, use the Sanitize PDF tool afterwards.

Frequently asked questions

Is the file sent to a server?
