Does this remove every hidden stream?

No. It strips common document Info fields (title, author, subject, keywords, dates, creator/producer). For stronger prep, use Deep Clean and review with Hidden Content Auditor.

Will page content change?

No. Only metadata fields are cleared. Visible text and images stay the same.

Should job seekers strip resume metadata?

Often yes — author and tool names can leak from Word exports. Use Remove metadata or Job Application Packet before portal uploads.
