What Remove all clears
PDFs carry hidden details: title, author, subject, keywords, the app that made the file and when. The author field often holds a personal or company name you didn't mean to share.
Remove all clears every one of those fields, including the hidden XMP copy some apps add, and saves a clean copy. Pages, text and quality don't change.
Do it before posting a PDF publicly or sending it outside your organisation.
Frequently asked questions

No. Only the hidden details are cleared; every page stays exactly the same.
