Remove PDF Attachments

Strip files embedded inside a PDF before sharing it.

How it works


PDFs can carry other files inside them, and many people never know theirs does — some tools embed source data automatically. Before a document goes outside your organisation it is worth checking, and removing anything that should not travel with it.

Questions


How do I know what was in there?
Run Extract PDF Attachments first. This tool removes without showing you.
Can it be undone?
Not in the output file. Keep the original if you might need them.
Does this remove metadata too?
No, that is Remove PDF Metadata. Worth running both before sharing.
