Review comments, highlights, and sticky notes are useful during editing but shouldn't ship in the final copy. Remove Annotations strips all of them out in one pass, leaving the underlying page content untouched.

Frequently asked questions about remove annotations
Does this remove form fields too?
No, this targets comments, highlights, and sticky notes — form fields are untouched. Use Flatten PDF if you also want to bake in form field values.
Will the underlying page content change?
No, only the annotation layer is removed — the original text, images, and layout stay exactly as they were.
Is there a page limit?
It runs entirely in your browser, so it's bounded by your device's memory rather than a server-side limit.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No — stripping annotations happens locally, so your document is never uploaded.
