          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 80238
          Assignee: [email protected]
           Summary: Enhancement: export PDF without metadata
          Severity: enhancement
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 4.2.4.2 release
         Component: Printing and PDF export
           Product: LibreOffice

It would be nice to have an option to export a document to PDF, but without
metadata (e.g. author, title). While I generally want those metadata included
in my PDFs, sometimes it is useful to strip the metadata from a PDF file. I am
not the only one who would like such an option, see for instance
<http://ajhaupt.blogspot.nl/2012/11/create-anonymous-pdf-file.html> how
cumbersome it is to export an anonymous PDF. I know for a fact that such a
feature would be interesting for corporate users too, since corporates often
use third-party metadata strippers for e-mail attachments and such, because the
metadata *may* contain confidential information.
While I would be very happy with a checkbox to not include any metadata to the
PDF, it would be even better if I would be able to distinguish between
different sorts of metadata, e.g. to include title and keywords but not to
include author or original file path (anonimity).
