Why Remove PDF Metadata?

There could be many reasons that a person might want to remove metadata, but our most recent example was to submit a paper for blind review. Even though we made sure the actual content of our PDF did not have our names, the metadata still had the author names.

Instructions

  1. Download the ZIP of this project from the button above that has the cloud and the arrow and "ZIP."
  2. Unzip the download
  3. Rename it to remove "-master" so that it ends in .app
  4. Drag a pdf onto this app, that pdf will have its metadata (such as author names) removed.
