Strips annotation-layer markup: sticky notes, comments, drawings, stamps, and true PDF Highlight annotations. Hyperlinks are kept by default.

Does not remove watermarks, signature images, or coloured highlights that were "burned in" to the page (those are part of the page itself, not the annotation layer).

📄

What this removes: PDF annotations — the markup layer sitting on top of the page. That includes sticky notes, typed comments, drawings, stamps, hyperlinks, and Acrobat-style highlight annotations.

What this does not remove: watermarks, signature images, and coloured highlight rectangles that have been "burned in" to the page (e.g. anything added by PDF Chop Shop's Highlight, Watermark, or Sign tools). Those become part of the page content itself, not the annotation layer — they need a different tool to remove.
