Meta Data - Utility Bill
 

The utility bill of the person I'm using his identity was sent to me as a PDF after that person scanned it. I converted the PDF into JPG to edit it to delete the middle name to have 100% between the account name and the name on the bill. I then converted it back to PDF and am planning to send that to Amazon.

Any reason I should be worried?

P.S. - the editing of the JPG and the PDF conversion was done on a computer that is flagged by Amazon

do not think the editing done on a flagged computer is relevant.

In fact I doubt they look at any editing history routinely, if that is even possible, but as you converted it - at most you could re-scan the converted one again.

the only thing that can give stuff away that people do not realize is the barcodes on bills, but they are address related mainly

Clear the metadata on the jpg/pdf, whatever you send them.

Do you advice any app/website for PDF metadata removing ?

Batch purifier I believe has the option, and there are a few others as well

Online sites also offer them, but I would not know them off the top of my head
