In the Discard Objects area, you can select from these and other options:
Discard All Form Submission, Import And Reset Actions
Disables all actions related to submitting or importing form
data, and resets form fields. This option retains form objects to which actions are linked.
Flatten Form Fields
Makes form fields unusable with no change to their appearance. Form data is merged with the
page to become page content.
Discard All JavaScript Actions
Removes any actions in the PDF that use JavaScript.
Discard All Alternate Images
Removes all versions of an image except the one destined for on-screen viewing. Some
PDFs include multiple versions of the same image for different purposes, such as low-resolution on-screen viewing
and high-resolution printing.
Discard Embedded Page Thumbnails
Removes embedded page thumbnails. This is useful for large documents, which
can take a long time to draw page thumbnails after you click the Page Thumbnails button.
Discard Document Tags
Removes tags from the document, which also removes the accessibility and reflow capabilities
for the text.
Convert Smooth Lines To Curves
Reduces the number of control points used to build curves in CAD drawings, which
results in smaller PDF files and faster on-screen rendering.
Detect And Merge Image Fragments
Looks for images or masks that are fragmented into thin slices and tries to merge
the slices into a single image or mask.
Discard Embedded Print Settings
Removes embedded print settings, such as page scaling and duplex mode, from the
document.
Discard Embedded Search Index
Removes embedded search indexes, which reduces file size.
Discard Bookmarks
Removes all bookmarks from the document.
Discard User Data panel
Use the Discard User Data panel to remove any personal information that you don’t want to distribute or share with
others. If you’re unable to find personal information, it may be hidden. You can locate hidden text and user-related
information by using the Examine Document command (Tools > Protection > Remove Hidden Information).
Discard All Comments, Forms And Multimedia
Removes all comments, forms, form fields, and multimedia from the PDF.
Discard Document Information And Metadata
Removes information in the document information dictionary and all
metadata streams. (Use the Save As command to restore metadata streams to a copy of the PDF.)
Discard All Object Data
Removes all objects from the PDF.
Discard File Attachments
Removes all file attachments, including attachments added to the PDF as comments. (PDF
Optimizer doesn’t optimize attached files.)
Discard External Cross References
Removes links to other documents. Links that jump to other locations within the
PDF are not removed.
Discard Private Data Of Other Applications
Strips information from a PDF document that is useful only to the
application that created the document. This does not affect the functionality of the PDF, but it does decrease the file size.
Discard Hidden Layer Content And Flatten Visible Layers
Decreases file size. The optimized document looks like the
original PDF but doesn’t contain layer information.
