Using Olaf's project I can convert the PDF pages to images and then put these together as PDF pages again. That is what I needed.

I did realize that Windows has the "Print to PDF" option, but as I didn't have a clue what it does under the hood and whether it then still contains meta data, I didn't want to use it. In fact, the print to PDF thing gave me varying results in aspects of editable fields finally showing up when printed to PDF or NOT showing up anymore or BEING able to be edited and NOT being able to be edited anymore. As I needed images only, I ditched this approach.
Your original post said you didn't want 3rd party tools, but RC6 is just wrapping pdfium, so you're still using it, just adding a bunch of other closed source 3rd party DLLs instead of just calling FPDF_RenderPage in the pdfium dll yourself.
