Go to fixmypdf.in/tools/clean-pdf.
Upload the PDF
Click "Choose File" and select the PDF from Finder. The tool analyzes what metadata is present.

What macOS Apps Embed
Pages and Word on Mac embed your Apple ID username, the Mac's hostname, and creation timestamps. Keynote exported PDFs include slide notes and version history. Clean removes all of this.
