• The application with which the PDF document was created

• The PDF version

• File size

• The name and path of the PDF file

Enfocus metadata

An Enfocus Certified PDF document can be enriched with the following metadata:

• A reference to one or more source documents on which the PDF document was based

• A Preflight Profile

• A preflight report

• User and system identification

• An edit log, listing all the changes done in the PDF document per editing session (the time in

which the PDF document was opened, edited and saved). It contains all previous versions of a

file and allows you to save back to an older version.

• Session comments
