PDF’s are risky business. So much metadata can be hidden in a PDF depending on how it was generated. Stick to optimized JPEG’s (as I suggested in another comment [1]).

- andix 4y agoThat's really an easy option. For clean PDFs you would need a dedicated tool. I wouldn't trust PDFs that were created by any standard office software (Word, Acrobat, ...). There is always the risk some information about your computer, user name, time zone, location or maybe even license key/hash of the software may leak into the created document.
