Scan a PDF for hidden metadata, embedded scripts, attachments, and visible PII patterns, and export a sanitized copy. Verify that a contract, resume, whistleblower document, or public report does not leak author names, software versions, or overlooked personal identifiers.

How PDFolio helps you PDF privacy scanner
PDFolio inspects the PDF document catalog, Info dictionary, XMP stream, interactive form tree, and page text layer in your browser, flagging emails, phone numbers, SSNs, and credit card patterns.
If you want to automatically black out detected emails, phone numbers, and SSNs on the page, use Auto-Redact PII.
Before you download
Stripping metadata cleans hidden document properties. To remove visible emails, phone numbers, or SSNs from the page itself, run Auto-Redact PII next.
When the result is ready, download it immediately and open it in your usual PDF viewer to make a final check. You can then use Clear task data to release temporary file references from this browser tab. PDFolio does not create an account, cloud folder, or server-side document history.
A private way to PDF privacy scanner
PDFolio handles the selected files in the active browser tab. A Web Worker on your device performs the PDF task so the interface can remain responsive; document bytes are not sent to a PDF processing server, upload queue, account database, or advertising platform.
