menteith commented on PDFBOX-5854: ---------------------------------- No particular reason. Why PDFBox allows for removing ID yet it doesn't remove it? Is there any way to get rid of it? The pdf I have is in copyright. I could send it to a personal email but I don't feel comfortable sharing it to anyone. > PDFBox is unable to remove ID > ----------------------------- > > Key: PDFBOX-5854 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5854 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Writing > Affects Versions: 3.0.2 PDFBox > Reporter: menteith > Priority: Minor > > I tried to remove ID from a PDF file using PDFBox.
