I created and tested a patch to add an option in kcontrol->privacy to delete kpdf metadata files. http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1216 The patch works for me in R14 GIT. I'd be grateful if somebody else would test the patch. I believe the patch is backwards compatible with 3.5.13.1, although not necessary for 3.5.13.1. Darrell
