About This PDF Attachment Editor

Our PDF Attachment Editor lists and manages the embedded file attachments in your PDF documents using CoherentPDF, a professional PDF library compiled to WebAssembly. After uploading a PDF, all embedded attachments are automatically listed with their names, sizes, and page association. You can select which attachments to remove using checkboxes, with convenient Select All / Select None options. When you save changes, the PDF is rebuilt by re-attaching only the attachments you chose to keep, effectively removing the selected ones. All other document content, pages, text, and formatting are preserved. All processing stays local in your browser — no data is ever uploaded.
