What is the best universal meta scrubber? I need one that scrubs all types of files. Where can I get it?

Can I get a sample?

The Metadata Anonymisation Toolkit scrubs many types of files. It was a GSOC (Google Summer of Code) project under the Tor Project and is included in Tails.

It has some Python dependencies, but other than that runs on any OS.
My one problem with it is that it makes PDFs huge. A 3 MB PDF will be scrubbed into a 30 MB PDF. I talked to the person who made it, and apparently that's an issue with python-hachoi, which is what it uses to create the scrubbed PDFs.
