Sanitize PDF

Remove what's hidden in the file: scripts, embedded files, details and links. The visible pages stay the same.

About Sanitize PDF

A PDF can carry more than what you see: scripts, attached files, author details and links that open programs. This tool removes those parts before you share the file.

What you add
One PDF file.
What you get
One cleaned PDF, and a list of what was removed.

How to use it

  1. Add your PDF.
  2. Choose what to remove.
  3. Start.
  4. Download the cleaned PDF.

Settings

  • Remove scripts.
  • Remove embedded files.
  • Remove document details, such as title and author.
  • Remove links: links and actions that open sites or programs.

Good to know

  • The visible text on the pages isn't removed. To delete words from the pages, use Redact PDF.

Your files are processed only for this operation and deleted when it finishes. No one at Tools War can view what you upload.
