pdfprivacy – A LaTeX package to remove or suppress pdf meta-data
Creating pdfs with pdfLaTeX populates several pdf meta-data fields such as date/time of creation/modification, information about the LaTeX installation (e.g., pdfTeX version), and the relative paths of included pdfs.
The pdfprivacy package provides support for emptying several of these pdf meta-data fields as well as suppressing some pdfTeX meta-data entries in the resulting pdf.
