Metadata Cleaner

[maziwanka]

What metadata cleaner do you guys use for Word/PDF files? Concerned about sending emails via gmail or outlook. My previous workplace used Payne (which seemed fine). Don't mind paying if need be either.

Thanks

Any suggestions?

For MS Office 2007/10, did you try built-in removal tool?

File - Info - Prepare For Sharing - Inspect Document

Thanks for the tip - i'll take a look into this, though i'd prefer not to have to boot into Tails to be able to metadata wipe
