from io import FileIO

import sys
from os import path

sys.path.append(path.join(path.dirname(__file__), ".."))

from config import set_license, initialize_data_dir


def clear_pdf_metadata(infile, outfile):

    # Get PDF information
    pdf_info = pdf_facades.PdfFileInfo(infile)

    # Clear PDF metadata
    pdf_info.clear_info()

    # Save updated metadata
    pdf_info.save(outfile)
