Scrubbing of PDFs

Hi All,

Most of us are unaware of the term, scrubbing of Metadata.  Scrubbing of metadata is nothing but removal of the document properties like metadata of the particular document (Author, Date Last modified, Date Created etc.)

Please find the below steps to perform scrubbing of PDFs:

1. Open the respective PDF document.
2. Go to Edit – Preferences.
3. Select Documents section under Categories.
4. Select the option of Examine document when closing document option under Examine Document section.
5. Click on OK.
6. Once we have the pop up of Examine Document, check the appropriate data that needs to be scrubbed.
7. Click on Remove all checked items.
8. Once, we have the confirmation window which indicates that scrubbing is done. Click on OK.
9. Save the document.
10. To verify, just right click on the selected document, select properties option and you can see blank data in the metadata fields.
