A PDF metadata viewer is a tool that reads and displays hidden information embedded within PDF files. This includes properties like the document title, author name, creation and modification dates, the software used to create the PDF, page count, and security settings. PDFCheck provides one of the most comprehensive free PDF metadata viewers available online.

                

            


            
            

                
                

                    
Yes. PDFCheck includes AI detection that analyzes PDF metadata for signatures of AI-generated content. We detect tools commonly used by LLMs and AI systems, including ReportLab, PyPDF, WeasyPrint, pdf-lib, PDFKit, Puppeteer, and Playwright. The analysis shows confidence levels and specific markers found.

                

            


            
            

                
                

                    
Yes, PDFCheck offers free daily checks with no registration required. Your files are never stored on our servers — analysis happens entirely in memory. For power users, we offer upgraded plans with more daily checks.

                

            


            
            

                
                

                    
Upload the PDF to PDFCheck and check the Dates & Edit Log section. If the creation date and modification date differ, the document has been modified after creation. Our tool calculates and displays the exact time between creation and the last edit, helping you verify document authenticity.
