Remove some metadata

Would you like to remove some of the metadata from this document, to make it somewhat more private?

Note this will remove all text layers (which OCR, later, can re-add some of) and indexes. This functions by converting all pages to an image and back into a PDF. You may still leak some data, such as the use of this tool, so if you are doing something particularly sensitive, you will want to use other methods to confirm that you are not leaking anything you don't want to leak.

Yes

Rotate Pages

Would you like to rotate the pages?

Rotate pages 90 degrees clockwise

Rotate pages 90 degrees anticlockwise

Crop Pages

Would you like to crop the pages?

Note that this causes loss of all text layers (which OCR, later, can re-add some of) and indexes.
