Prevent metadata being created while creating PDF file in Acrobat Pro DC

I want to convert Word .DOCX file into .PDF file using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.

And every PDF file, that I have after it's creation, has multiple unnecessary metadata information, like these ones:

XMPToolkit : Adobe XMP Core 5.6-c*** **.******, ****/**/**-**:**:**
CreatorTool : Acrobat PDFMaker 21 for Word
DocumentID : uuid:****-****-****-****-********
InstanceID : uuid:********-****-****-****-********
Producer : Adobe PDF Library 21.1.182



So, my question is  -  how to prevent Acrobat Pro DC from creating (adding) any excess metadata, and create only the minimum number of metadata information in PDF file?



PS: I know an option in settings called "Remove Hidden Information when closing document" ( Preferences --> Documents ), but when I close PDF file, it asks every single time an annoying prompt with multiple options about what would I like to do - remove metadata, or not ...

Maybe someone knows how to disable these prompts as well?

It would resolve the whole issue of this subject.

Thanks.

That would be a question for an Adobe forum.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype
