Extracting annotations allows users to review comments, feedback, or notes made by others on the document, facilitating collaboration and discussion. The ability to get annotations from a document is necessary when working with large volumes of documents. The Aspose.PDF for C++ library can get annotations from PDF in a few steps. Annotations may contain private information. Removing Strikeout annotations is necessary to ensure that such information is not unintentionally shared when sharing the PDF with others. Annotations may reveal data or information that needs to be protected for privacy reasons. Removing annotations helps safeguard data privacy. Annotations, especially excessive or outdated ones, can clutter a document and make it visually unappealing or harder to read. Removing Strikeout annotations can enhance the overall document’s readability.
