Remove PDF bookmarks

Strip the outline tree from a PDF.

Why use Remove PDF bookmarks?

Sometimes outlines confuse viewers or expose draft section titles you no longer want visible. Removing bookmarks strips the navigation tree entirely—irreversible without another source. PDFBaba performs the operation online without signup, with short retention. Export bookmarks first if there is any chance you will want them later. Combine with metadata cleanup if you are sanitizing a PDF for publication.

Supported files & limits

One PDF. The default upload limit is 100MB per file; administrators can raise or lower this via server configuration. Outline removal is permanent—archive a copy first.

Privacy & data retention

PDFBaba is built for quick tasks: your uploads and generated downloads are kept only long enough to process your request and are automatically deleted after about one hour. We do not require signup for these tools, and we do not use your documents to train AI models. For full details on cookies, analytics, and legal terms, read our Privacy Policy.
