PDF Metadata Extractor

Read Author, CreationDate, and Generator metadata from a PDF.

JavaScript is required for this interactive tool.Static Reference / Engine Logic:if(input.value) { // If text input provided, search for PDF strings (fake parse) const text = input.value; const author = text.match(/\/Author\s*\((.*?)\)/); const producer = text.match(/\/Producer\s*\((.*?)\)/); output.textContent = "Parsed from text input:\n"; output.textContent += "Author: " + (author ? author[1] : "Not found") + "\n"; output.textContent += "Producer: " + (producer ? producer[1] : "Not found") + "\n"; }

How it works

This tool runs entirely in your browser using vanilla JavaScript. Data is not sent to any server. Mechanically, it processes the input string or array buffer using native web APIs (like WebCrypto, TextEncoder, or regex matching).
