Removing Objects & Images from 600 page Adobe Acrobat X file - How?

Question

How do you remove Images & Objects from a 600 page Adobe Acrobat X file ? Any suggestion are welcome.

Answer 1

i remember it was much easier in an earlier version of acrobat pro (using the preflight tool). here's how i managed to remove all images using the preflight tool of acrobat xi:

1. use preflight tool to move images to seperate layers
2. set image layers to invisible (and disallow export, though i'm not sure if that had any influence)
3. go to tools, to the security menu on the right and use the option to remove all hidden elements
4. save pdf

Answer 2

Stating the obvious: Use the PDF editing capabilities of Adobe Acrobat. You can manually select an individual object (using the "Edit Object tool") and remove it using Del.

You can also use the Preflight Tools to display a list of all text blocks and images in your file.

Answer 3

If you are using Adobe Acrobat Pro, go to Pages panel » Watermarks » Remove Watermarks. Done.
