I have some good PDF ebooks I’m willing to share, but I suspect the seller embeds some tracking data in them to link them to my account, as every time I download them from the official website they have a different hash while being visually identical. The same when checking against the copies a friend bought from the same seller. Since I dont wanna get banned, can you recommend a way to remove that stuff?

    Okay hear me out… physically print the documents then, using a high resolution scanner, make a digital copy and finally use a raster to vector convertor.

    I know this is probably dumb, but I just wanted to throw this out there.

      Why not just primt it to PDF. It doesn’t lose any data, plus it doesn’t take ages to scan the books.
