I received a PDF that was saved from an Outlook email that has large attachments in it. How do I delete them from the PDF. I don't want the attachments in the PDF, just the text from the email.

Acrobat Pro 24.5.20400.0

Mac Sonoma 14.7.2

Thank you

Another option is to save as an optimized pdf, selecting the option to discard file attachments (File> Save as other> Optimized pdf). This is not a more efficient method, unless you are already optimizing the pdf for some other reason.
