Removing highlights you previously added to PDFs

Participant ,
Jun 21, 2024 Jun 21, 2024

Quick question - I like to add highlight, underlines and comments to articles for things I'm interested in.  But when I want to forward the articles to others, I send a clean copies (without the highlights, underlines & comments).  The only way I know to get rid of what  I had added is to click each one then press delete.  I tried control+A to select the entire document then pressing delete. That deleted all my markings, but also crossed out all the words in the article. 

 

Does Acrobat have a function to remove markings I've added, or will I just have to click on each and press delete?  


Thx

Click into the Comments List before pressing Ctrl+A and it should only select the comments. Then press Delete to remove them all. Another option is to simply save a copy of the file before you start adding comments to it, and then send that copy...
