Clean the complete supported annotation layer
Use Quick Remove when you want a clean copy with all supported annotations removed. Use Customize Removal when the decision depends on annotation type, author, page, or a specific comment thread. The remover starts from your original PDF for every attempt, saves a complete new copy, then reopens and validates the result before download.
When to use the full remover
-
Prepare a reviewed contract, paper, or manual for external sharing
-
Remove reviewer marks from multiple drafts while keeping the page text unchanged
-
Clean a mixed annotation layer containing highlights, notes, stamps, and drawings
-
Use Pro batch removal to apply Remove All Supported across up to five PDFs
Supported types and boundaries
V1 can remove highlights, underlines, strikeouts, squiggles, sticky notes, free text, ink, squares, circles, lines, polygons, polylines, stamps, and carets. Links, widgets, attachments, media, and other excluded objects are preserved. Locked PDFs, documents that prohibit modification, and digitally signed PDFs are rejected. Annotation removal is not secure redaction and does not claim PDF/A conformance.
