Remove PDF Annotations Online
Remove highlights, comments, stamps, and other supported PDF annotations online with explicit counts, filters, and unsupported-type reporting.
Pdf Clarity shows supported annotation classes and explicit counts before export.Removing annotations is different from flattening them into visible page content, and the workflow says so directly.Unsupported annotation subtypes remain visible in the summary instead of disappearing silently.

Common questions
Is this the same as flattening annotations?
No. Removing annotations deletes supported annotation objects. Flattening keeps the visible marks and turns them into page content.
What happens to unsupported annotation types?
Unsupported annotation subtypes stay in the PDF and remain visible in the result summary so the cleanup result stays honest.
