Attachments travel with a document without being visible on any page. A PDF passed along a few times can end up carrying a spreadsheet nobody meant to share. It is worth looking before you send one on.
Tick the attachments you want to keep. Anything left unticked is removed from the new file. Your pages are untouched either way.
A PDF can carry whole files inside itself, rather like an envelope holding more than one sheet. They are not pictures on a page and they are not part of the text. They sit in the file as complete documents of their own and come back out byte for byte as they went in.
Adobe Reader shows them in a paperclip panel down the side, and most desktop readers have something similar. A good number of simple viewers and phone apps do not show that panel at all, which is why plenty of people never learn their document was carrying anything.
Drag the file onto the upload area, or browse from your device.
Everything attached is listed, ticked to be kept.
Anything left unticked is removed from the new file.
Save it. Your pages are untouched either way.
Add your PDF and the attachments are listed. Untick anything you want gone, then save. The new file keeps only what you ticked.
Files tucked inside the PDF itself, rather like an envelope holding more than one sheet. They do not appear on any page. Adobe Reader shows them in a paperclip panel down the side, and most desktop readers have something similar.
Because they travel invisibly. A document passed around an office for a while can end up carrying a working spreadsheet, an earlier draft, or notes that were never meant to leave. Nothing on the page tells you, so it is worth checking before a file goes outside.
No. Only the attachments change. The pages, text, and images are carried across exactly as they were.
The Clean PDF tool removes all attachments at once along with scripts and other hidden extras. Use that when you want everything gone, and this one when you want to keep some and drop others.
No. Everything runs inside your browser on your own device. Your file is never sent anywhere, and nothing is stored.
