How to remove long link in PDF properties after compressing a file

Hello,

I have recently compressed a large PDF file and notice that in the 'properties' section under 'more info/where from' it has a really long link showing that the file has been compressed in Adobe. Is there any way to remove this as it is a massive eye sore. Screenshot attached.

 

Thank you.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
