Don't doubt it's possible, but might be a little trickier than you suspect. My old firm, as a matter of course, installed software on our laptops that stripped all sorts of metadata from outgoing documents. It was actually really annoying since "tracked changes" in MS Word got removed too.

@spinklock - it's the industry standard. My firm does the same (although now it's done through our file management systems instead of through software installed on our laptops).
