To safely edit or combine untrusted PDF, how to "clean" non-text & non-images?

I need help to edit and/or combine untrusted PDFs. Is it possible to "clean" to minimize security risk for Windows 10 Enterprise Computers?

Create a new PDF from the PDF.

Use the Sandbox Protections.

Sandbox limits what I can do to a PDF such as printing and combining...I do not know of another way other than "clean" ; CDR Content Disarm and Reconstruction is a way albeit having to keep up-to-date; since everyone I know are using antivirus program which has same up-to-date risk, CDR seems the best for now.

This is happening because you turned on Protected View. It's doing what it is supposed to. Everything is working correctly, and as you asked it to.
