Difference between Remove Hidden and Sanitize

Contributor ,
Jan 18, 2019 Jan 18, 2019

Hi

I have Word docs with some metadata in them typically (comments, personal information (author names)  when I save as PDF it seems the comments are removed but not the properties (personal info-metadata) 

so then I choose protect remove hidden info and it removes the personal info that was in the Word doc...

Couple related questions

1. do the comments in a Word document get removed when just saving as PDF (I dont see them but are they still there hidden in the PDF)?

2. do i need to hit Sanitize doc given i usually do remove hidden information button under protect tool?

3. Whats the difference between doing Remove Hidden Information and doing Sanitize document in relation to what i have described with my Word docs

thank you very much

Craig
