Clean Retype

Meet Clean Retype

Clean Retype checks documents for information that may remain hidden behind the visible page. Its free browser-based checker examines Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files for material such as author metadata, comments, tracked changes, hidden content, and embedded data. Users can inspect the findings before sharing a file outside their organization.

For Word and PDF documents, the service also offers a clean-copy workflow that rebuilds the visible pages and produces a report of excluded material. That processing is separate from the local check and involves uploading the document. It is useful for consultants, recruiters, and other professionals who repeatedly adapt files and need to review what those files contain.
