When to remove PDF annotations

During collaborative document review, multiple people add comments, highlights, and notes. Before sharing the final version with a client or publishing it publicly, you need to remove all of these review marks to present a clean, professional document. Removing annotations is also important for privacy — comments often contain internal discussion that should not be visible to outside parties.

This tool removes all annotation types at once: text comments, highlight marks, underlines, strikethroughs, freehand drawings, stamps, and hyperlinks, leaving only the original document content.
