I have a 200mb PDF that needs to be reduced in size. Already optimized the filesize but it's image intensive, so is there a method I can use to auto-remove ALL images from a PDF?

Using Acrobat DC here.

saw a Java solution here but not sure how to apply it.

How can I remove all images/drawings from a PDF file and leave text only in Java? | Newbedev

I believe one of the easier ways of doing it is by first using the Preflight profile called "Put all image objects on layers". Then you just go to the Layers panel and delete all of these layers and save your file under a new name.
