Removing highlights you previously added to PDFs

Question

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...
