Use this page when an admin, school, job or government portal rejects a PDF upload.
No. It resaves the PDF using object streams and clears common document information fields. It does not downsample scanned images, remove pages or perform OCR. Some PDFs remain too large or become larger; a warning reports a missed size target.
No file upload is required for the current local metadata cleanup workflow.
For example, a 3 MB scanned document that remains 2.8 MB is still not compliant. Re-export the original with lower image resolution or grayscale when appropriate, check that text remains legible, and try again. Those figures illustrate a failed target, not a measured compression guarantee.
Here 2 MB means 2,097,152 bytes. If the portal allows only 2,000,000 bytes, enter 1.9 MB for a margin. File size alone does not guarantee that the portal accepts the document.
No. Clearing document information is not redaction: text, images, attachments or other embedded metadata may remain. Resaving can invalidate digital signatures. Keep the original and verify the output; do not use this tool to certify anonymization or signature preservation.
