Purge metadata, convert PDF to rendered graphics (including bitmaps), add OCR layer.

There are tools for this already.. but it sure would be nice to have a Firefox plugin that scrubs all metadata on downloads by default.

You could write a script to automatically watch for new files in a folder and strip metadata from every file i guess. I had done something like that for images way before.
