How do I create anonymous pdf?

Is there a way to create a pdf that cannot be traced back to the author? Is there something in document configurations that removes author info.?

Smells like jail time.
What are you trying to hide behind?

Needing to anonymously alert an employer of dubious employee activity that is detrimental to fellow employees and the overall health of the business.

Why does it have to be anonymous? Would your life be at stake?
Btw how do you plan to deliver the PDF anonymously? I don't think the PDF is necessary.

why would that need to be anonymous If it is hurting the business? Seems like a good opportunity to prove you are a team player.

If you have the paid version of Acrobat, just go into Properties, go to the Description tab (first tab) and delete the information from the author line.
That should be the only place the authorship should show up.

...or, just print the info, put in envelope, and send by U.S. Postal Service.

Create the PDF then screenshot it and send as a jpeg maybe?

I'd probably fly to another city and drop it off there just to be sure

Do you not have an ethics line that you can report to?

Right-click on PDF File Icon > Properties > Details > "Remove Properties and Personal Information"
Send a sample to yourself and/or trusted friend to confirm it works.
*** I also highly recommend that you get a "Vanity Email" account from a provider and send the email anonymously. You might also want to consider printing it and snail-mailing it.

Create a Word doc and strip all the identifying stuff then save as PDF? Or just use snail mail like other poster said
