The Remove Annotations tool removes annotations from the document without redacting the underlying content. Use this to clean up markup annotations that are no longer needed, or to strip all annotations from a document before distribution.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| All Annotations | Removes every annotation on the selected pages, subject to the "keep" filters below. |
| Redacting Only | Removes only redacting annotations (those placed by Mapsoft Redactor's markup tools). Other annotation types such as comments, highlights, and stamps are left in place. |
When removing all annotations, you can preserve specific annotation types:
| Filter | Description |
|---|---|
| Keep Multimedia | Preserve multimedia annotations such as embedded audio and video clips. |
| Keep Forms | Preserve interactive form field widgets (text fields, checkboxes, dropdowns, etc.). |
| Keep Text | Preserve text annotations (sticky notes and free text). |
Tip
Use the "Redacting Only" scope to quickly clear all redaction markup after reviewing the document, without affecting other comments or annotations.
The Remove Attachments option removes all embedded file attachments from the document. This is separate from annotation removal and affects document-level file attachments as well as file attachment annotations.
Warning
Removing annotations does not redact the content beneath them. If you want to permanently remove content, use Redact Marked Content instead.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| All Pages | Process every page in the document. |
| Page Range | Specify From and To page numbers to limit the scope. |
