Clean comment threads before sharing
PDF comments are annotations, and replies are linked through annotation relationships. Customize Removal starts with Text and FreeText as the focus, so you can review the comment layer, select threads, and automatically include related popup or reply objects that must change together. Quick Remove is broader and clears all supported annotations.

Comments are one part of the annotation layer
This page focuses on Text and FreeText comment objects, including linked replies and popup relationships. The same remover can also remove highlights, stamps, drawings, and other supported annotations. If you only want comment cleanup, keep those other types unselected in Customize Removal.
