The tool heading is Text Recognition, and you should find it under the Tools panel’s dropdown menu, or by choosing View > Tools > Text Recognition.

First of all, I hope you’re referring to Acrobat, since Adobe is the entire company, and I can’t speak to that ;)
Metadata gets taken with other document contents when you convert to PDF. Once you have the document open in Acrobat, there are a few ways to remove the metadata.
Open the Tools pane, then choose Protection tools from the menu at the far right of the pane. Once that set of tools displays, you’ll find options to handle Hidden Information, which includes metadata.
