Is it possible to disable metadata in reader DC?

New Here ,
Oct 03, 2018 Oct 03, 2018

I know the "remove hidden information" tool and how to delete metadata there but I am trying to mitigate a security concern and I was wondering if I could permanently disable metadata when creating a file in Acrobat Reader DC? Is there a user setting or preference that I can choose to turn off metadata creation so there is never any metadata once the file is saved?

Reader doesn't create or edit PDF files, so the answer is no.

I must be thinking of the wrong version we have installed then. I'll check on it tomorrow and ask again. Thank you.

No. Acrobat Reader can't create PDF files.
