Remove annotations from a PDF in one pass

Comments, sticky notes, highlights, drawings and stamps are all annotations. The tool strips them from every page, so you do not have to delete them one by one. When it finishes, it tells you how many were removed.

The page content underneath stays as it was.

Keep links and form fields

Links and fillable fields are annotations too. Tick the options to keep them and only the review markup goes. For a deeper clean that also drops scripts, embedded files and metadata, run Sanitize PDF. Want the comments baked into the page instead of removed? Flatten the PDF, as described in how to flatten a PDF.
