What Does This Tool Remove?
Our algorithm detects and deletes specific "Non-Content" layers from your PDF structure:
- Comments & Sticky Notes: The popup notes usually added during the review process.
- Highlights & Underlines: Neon markers and text strikes used for emphasis.
- Stamps & Watermarks: "Draft", "Confidential", or "Approved" stamps placed as annotations.
- Shapes & Drawings: Arrows, boxes, and circles drawn on the page.
Note: Your actual document text and images remain 100% safe.
Benefits of a Clean PDF
1. Professional Appearance: A document full of edit notes looks unfinished. Cleaning it makes it ready for final submission.
2. Privacy Protection: Sometimes comments contain sensitive internal discussions. Removing them ensures no hidden data is shared.
3. Printer Friendly: Printing pages with heavy yellow highlights wastes ink. Using our Grayscale Converter or this cleaner saves money.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Will this remove my text?
No. It only removes "Annotations" (the layer on top of the text). The actual content of your PDF remains untouched.
Is it safe for legal documents?
Yes. Since we do not upload your file to any server, your confidential data never leaves your computer. It is the safest way to clean legal contracts.
Can I undo this?
No, the deletion is permanent on the new file. However, your original file remains unchanged on your computer.
