How to prevent metadata being added while creating PDF file in Acrobat Pro DC

[mike5010]

I simply want to convert Word .DOCX file into .PDF file using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.

And every PDF file, that I have after it, has multiple unnecessary metadata information in PDF files, like these ones:

XMPToolkit : Adobe XMP Core 5.6-c*** **.******, ****/**/**-**:**:**
CreatorTool : Acrobat PDFMaker 21 for Word
DocumentID : uuid:****-****-****-****-********
InstanceID : uuid:********-****-****-****-********
Producer : Adobe PDF Library 21.1.182

So, my question is  -  how to prevent Acrobat Pro DC from creating (adding) any excess metadata, and create only the minimum number of metadata information in PDF file?

PS: I know about an option in settings called "Remove Hidden Information when closing document" ( Preferences --> Documents ), but when I close PDF file, it asks every single time an anoyying prompt with questions what would I like to do - remove metadata, or not ... darn it!

Maybe someone knows how to disable those prompts as well?

It would resolve the whole issue of the subject.

You can't disable it, it's a built-in part of the PDFMaker plugin.

You can overwrite it, though, by running this script on the file after it's created:

this.metadata = "";

You can do using an Action or a custom tool, for example.

These are pretty much required; no responsible app would leave them out.

My concern is different. Every time I convert a word doc to a pdf, the PDF insists on putting baloney in the metadata...a wrong date, some random persons name. It's manure. 

Yes, I can go in and edit the properties, but I shouldn't have to!

This is done by the application that creates the file. You need to look for a solution there.
