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?
Unfortunately then you lose things like text and links. I think the only real solution for my specific example (which to be clear, might not be OP’s dilemma) is to crack and directly edit the binary data of the PDF file
What you mean by crack and directly edit?
