What exactly does 'Remove everything' clear?

Title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer and both the creation and modification dates — plus the extra metadata block (XMP) that many programs embed as a second copy of the same details.

Will this change how the PDF looks or reads?

No — only the document info is affected. The pages and their content are untouched.

Can I change the author or title instead of blanking them?

Yes — pick 'Edit the fields', type the new values, and leave a box empty to clear just that field.

Does this remove information that's inside the pages themselves?

No. This clears the document's info fields only. Text, images, comments or hidden layers inside the pages are not changed — use Redact PDF for content you need gone for good.
