    About PDF File Information

    When is it useful? PDF File Information shows the facts about a PDF before you upload or print it — how many pages it has, the page size, whether it is a scan, and who made it — useful for portal rules and checking documents.

    Good to know: you see the file size, page count, page size in millimetres (with the paper name, such as A4) and orientation, PDF version, title, author, subject, keywords, creating program, dates, whether it has form fields and whether it has selectable text. A text report is also downloaded.

    Tips for Better Results

    • “Selectable text: No” usually means a scan — use OCR PDF to make it searchable.
    • Check the page size before printing so A4 and Letter are not mixed up.
    • Use Edit PDF Metadata to change the title or author you see here.

    Why check a PDF before using it

    Upload portals set rules on size and pages, printers need to know the paper size, and you may need to know whether a document is a scan or who created it. Opening a PDF does not show these facts clearly; this tool lists them in one place.

    What you see

    The report shows the file name, file size, number of pages, page size in millimetres with the paper name (such as A4 or Letter) and orientation, and whether pages have different sizes. It also lists the PDF version, title, author, subject, keywords, creating program, producer, creation and modification dates, whether the PDF has form fields, and whether it has selectable text. A text copy of the report is downloaded too.

    How to use the answers

    “Selectable text: No” means the PDF is probably a scan — use OCR PDF to make it searchable. A Letter page size in an A4 country means printing may cut edges — use Resize PDF Pages. Unexpected author or creator details can be cleaned with Edit PDF Metadata.

    Common problems and how to fix them

    Many fields show —: the PDF simply contains no such information, which is common. The text check says No for a partly scanned file: only the first 50 pages are checked for text. The file will not open: it may be damaged or password-protected.

    Good habits

    Check information before uploading to strict portals, keep the downloaded report with important documents, and use the facts to choose the right next tool.
