Thanks Brian, you're correct.

instead simply a note of where the file being displayed is currently 
housed. Your message subject, I think, betrays your misunderstanding: 
the Location field is not a property of "PDF creation" but simply of 
the file's current location. 


Now I feel like an idiot.
Thanks to all who tried to help.

​Hi,

Where are you seeing this exactly? After exporting a PDF with Writer, I
inspected the metadata using pdftk and there is no path information in it.
Are you sure what you're seeing are actual data in the PDF file and not
your pdf viewer showing you the actual location?​

Hi.
You are correct.
If I want to keep the PDF with the document (for convenience when I have 
many suppliers, manuals, datasheets) I might have a path that includes 
the supplier (so I can find the documents and PDF) but a supplier name 
which I don't want to disclose.
If the folders on a server, the path could include the server address 
file:///home/steve/network/NAS/public/steve/ptsite/PT252Datasheet.pdf 
and in time more information about our network than I want disclosed.

The path discloses something of the OS
Sending -> email as pdf discloses the least. 
file:///tmp/mozilla_steve0/PT252Datasheet-1.pdf but is not the most 
convenient. Exporting to a usb drive also discloses a minimal amount of 
information, but again requires copying back to the document folder.

Hi,

I looked at the file properties in evince (Fedora 24) and Acrobat 
Reader (Windows 10), and the path looks like the path to where the PDF

around), not the path of where the file was initially created. Unless 
I am missing something?


I hope this helps.

[libreoffice-users] PDF creation properties.

[Steve Edmonds]

Hi.
When you create a PDF in writer the PDF properties has the path to the PDF.
Is there a way to suppress this. I am not so keen on publicising 
information on file system or server location.
