Your documents say more about you than you think.
Every PDF and Word file you share can carry your name, your employer, your computer's identity — even a beacon that reports back when it's opened. PDF Doc Shield finds every leak, explains it in plain language, and removes it. Without your file ever leaving your PC.
Four kinds of leaks. One scan.
A document is more than the text you see. PDF Doc Shield inspects everything the file format can hide, in under two seconds for a typical document.
Tracking beacons
Invisible remote images, auto-run actions and scripts that tell the sender when, where and how often you opened the file.
Identity metadata
Author names, employers, editing time, revision history — including the hidden second copy (XMP) most tools miss.
Machine fingerprints
Leaked C:\Users\you paths, document GUIDs, editing-session IDs, and GPS data inside embedded photos.
Hidden content
“Deleted” tracked changes, reviewer comments, invisible text, and previous versions still recoverable inside PDFs.
One click to a clean copy — original untouched
Cleaning never modifies your file. PDF Doc Shield writes Document (cleaned).pdf beside the original, removes exactly what you selected, then re-scans the new file and shows you the verified result. PDFs are rebuilt from scratch as a single revision, so old versions and orphaned data simply don't exist in the copy.
Plain language first, full detail on demand
Every finding is one honest sentence — “A photo in this document contains GPS location data — possibly your home” — with the exact technical details (field names, URLs, coordinates) one click away for the curious.
