way to batch remove annotations of PDFs in a folder?

I know this was a long time ago, but if you are stilling looking for a simpler solution and are using a microsoft product I created an application that can easily do this by simply selecting the folder in your folder browser

For others who are looking to batch remove annotations of PDFs in a folder and don't have Acrobat DC Pro or don't want to mess with scripts, BatchPurifier is a 3rd party GUI tool that can do that out of the box.

You can use this JavaScript code as a part of an Action (if you have Acrobat Pro) to achieve it:

this.syncAnnotScan();
var annots = this.getAnnots();
if (annots!=null) {
	for (var i=annots.length-1; i>=0; i--) {
		annots[i].destroy();
	}
}

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. As described above, you want to remove the annotations from the PDFs in a folder.

Do you have Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (Freeware) or Adobe Acrobat DC (Subscription based)?

If you have Adobe Acrobat DC, you may use the Action Wizard Tool to remove the annotations from the PDFs in a folder. You can also create your own actions. You can access and manage the actions by clicking Tools > Action Wizard.

For more detailed information please use the help article here (https://helpx.adobe.com/in/acrobat/using/action-wizard-acrobat-pro.html#run_an_action)

Let us know how it goes.
