pdf-unannotate 0.99.5

Command line script to easily remove annotations from PDFs.

pdf-unannotate

pdf-unannotate facilitates easily removing annotations from PDFs using PyPDF2.

Usage

After installing using pip, you can run pdf-unannotate as a command. It takes a single glob expression as an argument, and it will remove annotations from all PDFs matching the glob.

If you need to include spaces in a file name, make sure to escape them by using single quotes. If you do not escape the glob expression using single quotes, make sure to escape any * in the glob expression with a backslash, since otherwise they will be expanded by the shell before pdf-unannotate gets them.

• regex: (optional) only PDFs with filenames matching regex will have annotations removed.
• (pattern): (required, not named) a glob expression that matches PDFs to remove annotations from. Only files ending in .pdf that match the glob will be included. If a glob expression is insufficient to filter to just the scripts you want, you should use the regex argument.

Description

pdf-unannotate finds all .pdf files matching pattern (and regex, if provided). If PDFs are found, it removes annotations from them one-by-one using PyPDF2.
