Inspect a paystub PDF

Upload one PDF for a limited check of its metadata, embedded fonts, and images. No signup. This tool does not authenticate the document.

What this limited PDF check shows

These are properties of one uploaded file, not fraud findings. Absence of an observation does not prove authenticity.

  1. 1
    PDF metadata presence

    The check reports only whether metadata exists. PDF metadata is self-declared, so its presence or absence does not identify or verify the issuer.

  2. 2
    Embedded font count

    The check returns a capped count, not font names. A font count alone is not evidence that a document was edited or is authentic.

  3. 3
    Embedded image count

    Scans and exported PDFs can contain images for ordinary reasons. The capped count alone does not support a fraud or authenticity conclusion.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the free paystub PDF checker inspect?

It performs a limited check of one uploaded PDF and reports three bounded file properties: whether PDF metadata is present, the embedded font count, and the embedded image count. It does not return raw metadata names, font names, document text, or applicant information.

Can this free check tell me whether a paystub is authentic?

No. It cannot verify the issuer, employer, applicant, income source, or authenticity. A property being present or absent does not prove authenticity, editing, or fraud.

What happens with a scanned, encrypted, or unreadable PDF?

The check returns not run or manual review when it cannot complete safely. It does not label the document suspicious or clean.

What is the difference between the free tool and VeriRent's full screening?

The free tool inspects a few properties of one PDF. VeriRent's full $44 tenant-paid screening combines tenant-authorized identity, connected income or payroll data where available, document analysis, and landlord reference evidence. Independent evidence sources provide a broader, more reliable, source-labeled view before you decide.
