Drag and Drop to remove all metadata

Hi,

Do I have to use the command prompt method to remove all metadata (example--->  exiftool -all=a.pdf) or is there a drag and drop option? Why doesn't exiftool(-all).exe work?

Thanks.

First, ExifTool writes PDF files with an incremental update, so metadata is not actually removed.

Second, the application name would be "exiftool(-all=).exe"
