How to Remove All Markups from PDF on Mac (Sierra Included)

PDF markups can take different forms on documents – from shapes, callouts, and highlights to strikethroughs, stamps, and underlines. These editing features are typically used on documents such as financial reports and contracts in the office or on ebooks and digital textbooks to mark important pieces of information. In many cases, however, these markups are not intended to be permanent features on a PDF document and often need to be removed.

Removing markups should generally be as easy as putting them on. Many applications used to insert markups often don't have tools for undoing it and usually require users to download additional software to remove these markups. Therefore, when looking for an application to add and edit markups, always ensure you can remove all markups from PDF on Mac at once using the same tools. This will not only save you money but the hassle that comes with installing multiple PDF tools on your computer.
