How to: step-by-step
- Select the PDF.
- Run Delete Annotations.
- Download the result.
- Check comments, highlights, links and form behaviour against the original.
Tips for better results
- Keep the annotated source if the notes are still useful.
- Test a copy containing the annotation types you need removed.
Common pitfalls
- Some form widgets and links are stored as annotations and can also disappear.
- Marks flattened into the page are no longer annotation objects.
Before you finish
This does not erase writing already drawn into an image or normal page content.
