What this tool does

Create a new PDF with copied pages but without attached files in its normal attachment tree or file-attachment annotations.

How to use

Choose a PDF, review the limitations, approve the private server processing and download the PDF result. Verify the output before sharing.

Limitations

Associated files and known attachment references are removed, but this is not a general security sanitizer or proof that all embedded bytes in every nonstandard PDF are eliminated. Outline and digital signatures may be lost.

Input is limited to 18 MB and 50 pages. Encrypted or damaged PDF files may be rejected.

Privacy and retention

The document is uploaded only after you approve processing. The private worker deletes job files when it completes. No external API receives the document.

FAQs

Is this tool available offline?

No. This operation uses an isolated processing worker on our own server.

Does the output guarantee security or perfect quality?

No. Read the specific limitations. Inspect all outputs, especially when working with private documents.
