To remove PDF annotations online, upload your PDF, remove supported comments, highlights, sticky notes, drawings, stamps and markup, then download a cleaner PDF. Removing annotations deletes annotation objects and does not edit the original PDF text, flatten marks into the page, remove metadata or redact sensitive visible information.
PDF annotations are extra review marks added on top of a PDF. They can include comments, sticky notes, highlights, underlines, strikeouts, drawings, shapes, stamps, text boxes and callouts. Removing annotations means deleting those added markup elements so the PDF looks cleaner for sharing, printing, submission or final delivery.

Some PDFs contain real annotation objects that can be removed. Other PDFs are scanned images where handwritten notes, highlights or marks are part of the image. Some files have already been flattened, so annotations no longer exist as separate removable objects.
In scanned or flattened files, annotation removal may not remove visible marks because those marks are part of the page image or page content. If you need to remove visible marks from scanned pages, you may need PDF Editor, Redact PDF, Crop PDF or a manual cleanup workflow, depending on the case.
