PDF: delete metadata? 17 weeks 1 day ago

I can't get rid of an existing pdf's BOOKMARKS. I tried via Terminal with pdftk and pdfoutline but it's not effective. My plan was to make a copy of the pdf, without the metadata (which includes bookmarks) through pdftk and then apply an outline with pdfoutline. Do you know a way to eliminate exiting bookmarks or override them? Thanks.

I am converting images to pdfs.I use following command

convert page.jpg page.pdf

and then combine multiple pdf's generated accordingly by command

pdftk 1.pdf 2.pdf output result.pdf

but I noticed loss of quality in the resulting pdf.Is there some way that I can retain the quality of pdf i.e.

I want to pass the all files as single argument on linux but i am not bale to do that.

This is working

ls | sort -n | xargs -i pdftk {} cat output combinewd2.pdf

But this passes as single argument per command

but i want all in one command

Closing as being very old. Frankly if pdftk still hasn't been fixed by now (2 years later) you may want to consider alternatives.
