--- Comment #13 from 2wxsy58236r3 at opayq.com ---
Do you publish / upload PDFs publicly which contain annotations?

What is the purpose of annotation tool in your use case / workflow?

-----

I think many people use annotation tool to indicate the parts which should be
edited in the source file. So an identifier (not necessarily the real name) and
timestamp are useful, so that the person in charge knows who left the comment
and when the comment was made.

In many situations, users will edit the source file (instead of directly
editing the PDF) and re-generate a new PDF. The final PDF product should
contain no annotation then.

-----

Image files (e.g. JPG) can contain GPS, Timestamp, Camera Model, etc. in the
metadata, so I understand users will want to remove the metadata before
publishing the images.

But in the case of PDF annotation, can you please explain your situation in
more detail? Thank you very much!
