How does the Scrub PDF Metadata work?
Strip every metadata field from a PDF — Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator (the source app), Producer (the PDF library), Creation Date, Modification Date — and remove the XMP metadata stream (which can carry richer fields like GPS coordinates from a phone-scanned PDF, or change-tracking entries from Word). Useful before publicly sharing internal documents that might leak who made them, when, on what software. Note: this does not affect content; only header metadata. To strip embedded usernames in document content (e.g. comment authors), run Export Annotations to JSON first to audit what's embedded.
