Frequently Asked Questions
What metadata is removed?
The properties you tick: title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, creation date and modification date. Each is deleted from the file, not just emptied.
Is XMP metadata removed?
Yes. The XMP packet holds a second copy of the properties, so it is removed whenever any property is removed.
Will content be affected?
No, only metadata is removed; document content remains unchanged.
