Is my PDF uploaded to remove its metadata?

No. The metadata is stripped in your browser — the file never leaves your device. Tools like PDF24 and Smallpdf upload your PDF to their servers to do this; AttachKit doesn't. You can confirm it in your browser's network tab.

What exactly does it remove?

The document Info properties (author, title, subject, keywords, creator, producer and the creation/modification dates), the XMP metadata stream, and — for safety — embedded JavaScript, attached files and any auto-run (open) actions. Internal links and the page content are left intact.

Why remove PDF metadata?

Metadata can quietly reveal who wrote a document, what software and template they used, and when — details you may not want to share when you send a PDF outside your organisation.
