Description
Since a week or so, my pdfs have all returned corrupted. I can open the pdfs but there is no preview of them in the file explorer and I cannot upload them to any website.
When I check on github my pdfs appear "unable to render".
It seems like some sneaky block of metadata has appeared.
Here is my build routine
cd $@; docker run --rm --volume "$(PWD)/$@:/data" pandoc/extra summary.md LICENSE.md -o $@.pdf --template eisvogel --listings --number-sections
Two weeks ago all pdf returned fine and I didn't change anything in my build routine.

Compare the current image output with a known-good PDF and verify whether the result renders on GitHub and uploads successfully.
