Most edits to a PDF are last-minute: a missing signature, a highlight for a colleague, a page number on a contract. Remove Annotations handles those on the spot without a desktop install, an account or a subscription. Annotated output is flattened into the page, so the recipient sees exactly what you saw regardless of the reader they use.
