How to use Metadata Viewer
A clear browser-session workflow for inspect PDF work.
The interface should make the route visible: select files, perform the operation, and download the output from the same session.

The workflow reads available properties from the PDF info dictionary, XMP data, and document structure.
03
Review results
Metadata is displayed in an organized format so you can decide whether cleanup or redaction is needed.
Why local processing matters
Compare the processing route before using sensitive documents.
DocuStitch labels supported workflows around the browser session rather than hiding the path behind a generic cloud promise.

Operator notes
PDF metadata analysis without a remote upload queue
Viewing PDF metadata is useful for document analysis, compliance, and release review. Traditional online viewers often require uploading files to remote servers. DocuStitch keeps standard inspection workflows local.
Why local analysis matters
Metadata can reveal author names, dates, producer applications, and workflow history. Inspecting those fields in the browser session reduces unnecessary exposure.
Comprehensive metadata review
The viewer reads available fields from the PDF info dictionary, XMP data, and related document properties.
