Aspose.PDF Product Family

Hello Team,
I’m using the following code snippet to remove PDF more info about the Authors, Content Creator, and Encoding software details: Aspose.PDF but no effect. Please see the image below and the code:

using var memoryStream = new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(htmlContent));
            HtmlLoadOptions options = new();
            Document pdfDocument = new(memoryStream, options);
            using var outputMemoryStream = new MemoryStream();
            pdfDocument.RemoveMetadata();
            pdfDocument.Info.Clear();
            pdfDocument.Info.ClearCustomData();
            var pdfInfo = new DocumentInfo(pdfDocument) {
                Author = string.Empty,
                Title = string.Empty
            };
            pdfDocument.Save(outputMemoryStream);

            return outputMemoryStream.ToArray();

Is it final output? Because we are seeing Aspose.PDF in its properties as PDF Creator? If not, can you please share the output PDF that you obtained using the code snippet you shared earlier.

yes, this is the final PDF generated with creator info using Aspose.PDF library which I’m trying to clear and remove.
