Sanitize PDF — Remove scripts and metadata

Sanitizing a PDF removes hidden or potentially risky content: embedded scripts, metadata, hidden layers, attached files, and other elements that could pose security or privacy risks.

Use it before publishing a PDF externally, submitting it to a security-sensitive platform, or sharing it when you're unsure what the original file contains beyond the visible content.

Particularly important in corporate and legal contexts where documents pass through multiple systems and may accumulate hidden content from editing history.
