Title: After -all= PDF XMP still exsist
Post by: lipa on August 11, 2014, 07:29:43 PM
Hi everyone!

I've a PDF. I'd like to anonymized.
I tried this command: exiftool -scanForXMP -all= 1.pdf -o 2.pdf, but with "strings 2.pdf" still exsist.

How can i delete XMP tags?

Thank you!

ExifTool can not be used to permanently remove metadata from a PDF file.  See the PDF Tags documentation (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/PDF.html) for details, and this thread (https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php/topic,5385.msg26068.html#msg26068) for a discussion of this.
