# Edit Attachments
|
|
|
|
Inspect and manage the file attachments inside a PDF. The tool lists every embedded file with its name and attachment level, then lets you mark individual attachments for removal or strip them all at once.
|
|
|
|
## How It Works
|
|
|
|
1. Upload a PDF file.
|
|
2. The tool automatically scans for attachments and displays them in a list.
|
|
3. Each attachment shows its file name and whether it is a document-level or page-level attachment.
|
|
4. Click the trash icon next to an attachment to mark it for removal (click again to unmark).
|
|
5. Use the **Remove All Attachments** button to select everything at once, or **Deselect All** to clear your selections.
|
|
6. Click the process button to save a new PDF with the selected attachments removed.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- Lists all document-level and page-level attachments
|
|
- Individual or bulk attachment removal
|
|
- Toggle selection on and off before committing changes
|
|
- Visual strikethrough and opacity change on items marked for removal
|
|
- Downloads the modified PDF with selected attachments stripped
|
|
|
|
## Use Cases
|
|
|
|
- Removing outdated or incorrect files embedded in a document before redistribution
|
|
- Stripping sensitive attachments (financial data, personal info) from a PDF before sharing
|
|
- Reducing PDF file size by removing large embedded files that are no longer needed
|
|
- Auditing embedded content and cleaning up a document before archiving
|
|
|
|
## Tips
|
|
|
|
- Marked-for-removal attachments are shown with a visual strikethrough. You can toggle them back before processing if you change your mind.
|
|
- If no attachments are found, the tool displays a clear "No attachments found" message -- the PDF simply does not contain embedded files.
