Remove PDF Content.

Text is selected initially. It removes PDF text objects, including invisible text layers on otherwise supported pages. Images removes embedded raster pictures, and Shapes & lines removes supported vector paths such as borders, rules and drawings.

The app processes the base content of each selected page. Comments, annotation drawings, links and interactive form fields are separate objects and remain in the PDF. Text converted to outlines belongs to vector artwork, while words inside a photograph belong to an image.

Result shows what the current page will look like with the selected types removed. Switch to Original to compare. Navigation and the left thumbnail rail let you inspect another page; thumbnails always show the source pages for orientation.

Preview and export use the same removal operation. The preview is drawn on screen, but the downloaded PDF keeps the remaining text and vector artwork as PDF content. Unused spaces are left where objects were removed; paragraphs and pictures are not rearranged.

With Apply to all pages enabled, one set of removal choices is used across all supported pages. Turn it off to work on the currently displayed page only. The page counter shows how many pages contain matching content and can be processed.

Pages without matching content remain unchanged. Detected scanned and image-only pages are kept, with a visible count. If the chosen scope includes complex gradients, selecting Shapes & lines is rejected with an error while your previous choices and preview stay intact. The download retains the original page count, order and dimensions.

The app inspects PDF drawing objects to identify image-only pages, including scans with invisible OCR text. These pages are marked in the thumbnail rail and kept unchanged. A genuinely empty page or vector drawing is not classified as a scan merely because it contains no selectable text.

Detection is based on the PDF structure and image coverage, so it cannot identify every scan or flattened design. Visible words inside retained images will remain. Complex gradients are not supported for Shapes & lines. The app refuses that choice rather than silently restoring the page. In current-page mode, moving to a gradient page turns off Shapes & lines with a message and keeps your text and image choices. If the selected content still remains after removal, the operation fails instead of offering an incomplete result.

File inspection, preview and removal run locally in a browser worker. The app accepts an unlocked PDF and does not execute document scripts. Very complex pages, oversized embedded images or operations that take too long can be rejected.

This tool is for content cleanup, not complete anonymization. Metadata, comments and attachments are outside its scope. Modifying a digitally signed PDF invalidates the signature, and PDF/A conformance is not guaranteed after editing. Keep the source and use the result preview before sharing.
