"Ooops, I did it again..."

No, this isn't a post about what would be on my iPod if I had one...it's even better.

Recently, the NSA posted a document entitled, "Redacting with Confidence: How to Safely Publish Sanitized Reports Converted From Word to PDF". I downloaded the document, because, well...I like metadata. I decided to see what metadata is in the PDF itself, and found this:

Title -> Redacting with Confidence: How to Safely Publish Sanitized Reports Converted from Word to PDF
Author -> SNAC
CreationDate -> D:20060110111526Z
ModDate -> D:20060120090543-05'00'
Creator -> activePDF DocConverter
Keywords -> word, pdf, redaction, metadata
Producer -> 5D PDFLib
Subject -> I333-015R-2005

Very nice. I pulled this out of the document using the pdfmeta.pl script listed on page 254 of my book.
