Hello, I am using PdfCopy to copy existing pdf's but need a way to positively remove any XMP metadata.

Why?

        Are you also clearing the "DocInfo" fields as well?


This seems to work just fine but I see in the PDF spec that XMP metadata can be contained in any components that are represented as a stream or dictionary.

Correct. However, AFAIK, the only common location for it is on image dictionaries.



Does anyone know if there as a way to find and remove all those metadata streams if they exist anywhere in the document? Thanks, Greg

You can do it with our PDF Enhancer product (http://www.pdfenhancer.com).


It is possible using iText - but it requires walking the object tree and looking for the XMP key...

        But again - why would you want to do this?!?!
