Remove Attachments

PDFs may contain attachments such as documents, images, or other files. There are scenarios where you need to clean a PDF of all attachments for security, privacy, or distribution purposes. Using PdfContentEditor, you can programmatically remove all embedded attachments in a document.

1. Create the PdfContentEditor object.
2. Bind the input PDF.
3. Delete All Attachments.
4. Save the updated Document.

import aspose.pdf.facades as pdf_facades
import aspose.pydrawing as apd
from io import BytesIO
import sys
from os import path

sys.path.append(path.join(path.dirname(__file__), ".."))

from config import set_license, initialize_data_dir


def remove_attachments(infile, outfile):
    # Create PdfContentEditor object
    content_editor = pdf_facades.PdfContentEditor()
    # Bind document to PdfContentEditor
    content_editor.bind_pdf(infile)
    # Remove all attachments from document
    content_editor.delete_attachments()
    # Save updated document
    content_editor.save(outfile)
