A practical guide
Share it without the hidden extras.
- Choose one PDF.
- Sanitize it; scripts, risky actions, attachments, XFA, XMP and document information are removed.
- Read the removal summary and keep the clean copy; saving invalidates digital signatures.
Try this example
Clean a downloaded form that opens with a script and carries an attachment before sending it to a school.
Before
- PDF with scripts, attachments and metadata
After
- Clean copy with the same pages and links
Before you start: Links, bookmarks, form fields and page content remain. Text and images inside pages are not changed; this is not redaction.
Check what the clean copy containsWhat you get
Remove scripts, risky actions, attachments, XFA, XMP metadata and document information, keeping pages, links, bookmarks and form fields.
