a plain word document is uploaded to a sharepoint lib
metadata in sharepoint is entered partially manually and partially automatic by a workflow
sometimes the document needs to be send to an customer
he gets messages about enabling edit and so on
plus all the metadata is visible
another anoying side effect is that some documents are templates so when we complete a new document on upload the metadata from the template is used as default and this gives an error on save because the workflow on new item is also triggered
removing the data manually is not an option, storing a clean copy locally to email is not an option (document control requirements of iso 9001)
any settings in sharepoint that removes the metadata when a document is downloaded from the sharepoint lib?
