Basically what the title says, after getting so much of it I might end up contributing, but I want to do it safely.
Have a look at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60738960/remove-pdf-metadata-removing-complete-pdf-metadata
You could also use the GUI of Calibre or Sigil to remove the metadata
Yeah, I’ve used Calibre to that end once or twice. I guess what I’d be worried is if there’s still any trace left after removing the DRM from a .acsm file
Since I usually just downloaded the file from somewhere else after I couldn’t find it on libgen. Nah.
I’m paranoid enough to do it over tor though.
Yeah, doing it through TOR is a no brainer as well!
Yeah, just run exiftool
Didn’t know about this one, will check it out. Thanks!
I tend with prefer meta like author names, language of the epub etc If you don’t like meta, you can clean up all these in sigil or calibre.
Yeah well, this kind of metadata is actually nice to have. I meant how to erase any trace of who uploaded the file.
