Read PDF Metadata on Mac
PDF metadata powers search, accessibility hints, and publishing trails. Incomplete Info dictionaries create messy archives.
A Mac-native metadata reader helps prepress and office teams see what Acrobat or export plugins actually wrote—without guessing from the filename.
Batch export supports inventories of manuals, invoices, and design proofs stored as PDF.
