PDFelement - Edit, Annotate, Fill and Sign PDF Documents
Get from App Store
Annotations and other document markups are helpful tools that can be used to guide readers through your PDF document on Mac. Annotations can be used to draw attention to important parts of your document. They can also be used to communicate feedback or corrections on reports for business or educational environments or when dealing with documents in a discussion forum where participants need to exchange notes.
So, what happens when you are all done with the sharing and editing and need to hide annotations in PDF on Mac? Because let's face it, professional documents with markups and scribbled notes within the content won't look very professional as official copies. Such documents will likely leave a negative impression on potential customers or your educational instructor when presented for assessment. The smart thing in such cases would be to remove them before making the final presentation.
For most people, hiding annotations can be as hard – or even harder – as adding them. It mostly depends on the PDF tool that was used to add the annotations and the one that will be used to hide them. Wondershare PDFelement for Mac is a PDF modification tool that offers the best of both worlds. With this tool, you get a simple platform for adding notes, comments and other annotations and an even simpler platform for hiding them.
Apart from adding and hiding annotations, PDFelement presents users with tons of extra features for editing and modifying PDF documents. It offers one of the most intuitive user interfaces for viewing, editing, compressing, and converting PDF documents. It is also perfect for scanned or image-based PDFs, thanks to its Optical Character Recognition (OCR) feature that enables you to edit or hide annotations on scanned PDF documents.
PDFelement launches into a simple window that will allow you to upload your PDF file. Click "Open File" at the bottom of the window and select the file from your Mac storage and select "Open" to upload it. You can also upload your file by dragging and dropping it on the application window.
The PDF file will now be shown on the program. Next click on "Markup" icon on the tool bar and you will see a sub tool bar that will appear. At the top of the sidebar, you should see a small "Eye" icon next to a "Trash" icon. Click the "Eye" icon to toggle between showing annotations and hiding them. If you want to delete the annotations, click the "Trash" icon. This opens up a new sub-window that allows you to select the specific types of annotations you want to remove. Click all the options that apply and then click "Remove".
Your document should now be free from the selected annotations. Click the "File" icon at the top left corner to save your document. If you still need further edits, feel free to use your limited trial version to make the necessary changes to your document.
