A practical guide

Clear review comments from a file.

  1. Add a PDF with comments.
  2. Choose the comment types to remove.
  3. Run the task and check the pages.

Try this example

A 14-page draft returns from review with notes and highlights. Remove them and send a clean copy, with the links still working.

Before

  • Highlight + link

After

  • Link retained
Input and expected output for this task. Illustrative example.

Before you start: This is not secure cleanup; comment data may stay inside the file. Marks that were flattened onto the page cannot be removed.

Compare the cleaned copy
What you get

Remove supported comments and their replies from all pages, keeping links and form fields. Comment data may remain inside the file: this is not redaction or secure cleanup. Flattened marks are unchanged; saving may invalidate signatures. Limits: 10 MiB, 200 pages, 2000 annotations.

Limits and important details

10 MiB, 200 pages, 2000 annotations, 20 MiB output. Notes, markup, drawing and stamp comments only. Related replies and popups are removed too. Links and fields remain. Unknown types, tagged annotations, grouped/cross-page replies and malformed relationships are rejected. Comment objects may remain recoverable inside the PDF. Not secure cleanup; flattened page marks cannot be removed.

Example

Choose Text markup to remove highlights, underlines, squiggly underlines and strikeouts with their replies, while retaining independent text notes. Preview the result and check the links and form fields. Never use this operation to erase confidential information.
