View PDF Metadata Online

Use Tervilo PDF Metadata Viewer to inspect common information stored inside a PDF, including its title, author, subject, creator, producer, creation date and modification date. The original PDF is not modified.

What is PDF metadata?

PDF metadata is information stored in a document's properties. It can describe the document and the software used to create or process it. A PDF does not have to contain every metadata field.

What information can PDF metadata contain?

Title: the document title stored in the PDF.
Author: the author value recorded in the document properties.
Subject: an optional description or subject for the document.
Creator: the application recorded as the document creator.
Producer: the software or PDF library recorded as generating the PDF.
Creation date: a date stored in the PDF properties when available.
Modification date: a stored modification date when available.

Why does a PDF show “Not available”?

Some PDFs contain incomplete metadata. A field may be empty because the document was created without it, exported without preserving it, or processed later. Missing metadata does not mean the PDF is damaged.

Does PDF metadata prove who created a document?

No. Metadata can help with document inspection, but it can also be edited, replaced or removed. Treat it as document information rather than definitive evidence of authorship, ownership, creation time or authenticity.

PDF Metadata Viewer FAQs

Can I view the author of a PDF?

Yes, when an author value is stored in the PDF. If the field is empty, Tervilo shows “Not available”.

Can I check the creation date of a PDF?

Yes, when a creation date is stored in the document metadata. The date should not be treated as independent proof of when the file was created.

Why are some metadata fields empty?

PDFs do not always contain complete metadata. Different applications may omit or remove individual fields.

Does Tervilo change my PDF while viewing metadata?

No. The tool reads the PDF properties and leaves the original document unchanged.

About this tool

Rotate PDF

A free Rotate PDF tool for correcting sideways or upside-down PDF pages. Choose the rotation angle and download a corrected copy of the document.

About the Rotate PDF

Rotate PDF is designed for documents whose pages appear sideways or upside down after scanning, exporting or combining files. It changes the page rotation setting while preserving the PDF page content.

What the rotation changes

Rotating a PDF changes the orientation of its pages so content that is sideways or upside down can be read normally. Tervilo creates a new PDF and leaves the uploaded source file unchanged.

90° clockwiseTurns a landscape-style sideways page one quarter-turn clockwise.

180°Turns the page upside down while keeping the same page dimensions.

270° clockwiseTurns the page three quarter-turns clockwise, equivalent to 90° counterclockwise.

How to use the Rotate PDF

Select the PDF.
Choose 90°, 180° or 270° clockwise rotation.
Click Rotate PDF.
Open the downloaded PDF and confirm the orientation on several pages before sharing it.

How Tervilo processes your document

These PDF utilities are designed around browser-side processing. When a supported operation is performed, the selected file is read by JavaScript running in your browser and the result is generated locally. This approach can reduce the need to send ordinary document contents to a Tervilo application server.

When this tool is useful

Preparing documents for email, online submission or sharing.
Cleaning up a document workflow before printing or archiving.
Separating or combining supporting documents.
Converting information between common document formats for further editing or review.

Best practices

If only some pages are incorrectly oriented, extract those pages first, rotate them, and then merge them back into the original document.

Important limitations

The current browser tool applies one rotation value to every page in the selected document.

Privacy and file handling

Tervilo's browser-oriented PDF utilities are intended to process supported files locally. Browser extensions, network policies and third-party libraries can affect how a browser environment behaves. For highly sensitive documents, verify the deployed implementation and use your organization's approved document-processing workflow.

Rotate PDF questions

Can I rotate only one page?

The current Tervilo Rotate PDF tool applies one selected rotation to every page in the uploaded PDF. If only a few pages need correction, extract those pages first, rotate them, and then merge the corrected pages with the rest of the document.

Does rotating a PDF change the original file?

No. Tervilo generates a separate rotated PDF, so the original file remains unchanged on your device.

Will rotating a PDF change its text or images?

Rotation changes page orientation rather than rewriting the page content. You should still review the output before using it for an important submission or publication.

Which rotation should I choose?

Use 90° or 270° when a page is sideways. Use 180° when the entire page is upside down. If you are unsure, preview the source page and choose the direction that turns its top edge toward the correct reading position.
