Detailed Guide

Understanding PDF /Info Catalog Dictionaries & Metadata Sanitation

PDF document metadata resides in the trailer dictionary referenced by the /Info key. Standard metadata properties include Title (/Title), Author (/Author), Subject (/Subject), Keywords (/Keywords), Creator (/Creator), and Producer (/Producer).

When reading files, pdf-lib parses trailer dictionary streams and extracts text strings. Modifying metadata updates dictionary entries and recalculates document modification timestamps (/ModDate).

Sanitizing PDF metadata removes personal author tags and software creation traces, generating clean binary blobs directly in browser RAM with zero server communication.
