How it works

  1. Add the PDF. What it says about itself is listed straight away.
  2. Choose whether to leave it, clear it, or clear it and set a new title.
  3. Download the copy.

When the browser is not enough

scanmydocz for Android

Live edge detection through the camera, text recognition that makes the PDF searchable, a signature you can place, and batch capture. All of it on the phone.

In closed testing. There is no public Play link yet, so there is no button here yet.

scanmydocz Pro

Pro is the paid tier in the Android app. It cannot be bought on the web yet, because checkout is not connected, and we would rather say that than show you a price you cannot pay.

Questions

What is actually in there?

Usually a title that is not the title, the author field of whoever's template it started from, the name of the software that wrote it, and two timestamps. On a scan, often the make and model of the scanner. None of it shows on the page and all of it travels with the file.

Does removing it change the pages?

No. The pages are untouched. Only the document information fields are cleared.

Is this enough to anonymise a document?

No, and that is worth being blunt about. This clears the document fields. It does not remove a name written in the text, a signature in an image, an XMP packet some writers embed separately, or anything in the page content itself. Treat it as a good clean rather than a forensic one.

Is my file uploaded?

No. It is read and rewritten inside this page.
