How PDF cleanup works
The workflow is intentionally scoped so users understand support and limits before processing.
02
Confirm the document scope
PDF cleanup works best for bounded issues such as editable marks, visible artifacts, or scan cleanup.
03
Review support before processing
Some documents are flattened, locked, or unsupported. Those cases should be reviewed before processing.
04
Export only after review
Use the cleaned document only after checking that the output matches the intended edit.
Scoped document cleanup
PDF-first Flow
The page explains limits before processing, so users do not expect a full document editor on load.
Authorized Documents
The workflow is scoped to documents users own or have permission to edit.
Support Review
Unsupported file types, locked documents, or ambiguous edits can be handled as a review state.
Pro Controls
Advanced document cleanup controls remain gated until the file type and scope are clear.

PDF Cleanup FAQ
Common questions before using Pro document cleanup.
What documents can PDF Cleanup handle?
It is intended for bounded cleanup requests on documents you own, such as editable marks, visible artifacts, or scan cleanup.
Can it remove any mark from any PDF?
No. Locked, flattened, scanned, or complex documents may require review or may be unsupported.
Why is PDF Cleanup a Pro workflow?
Document cleanup has higher risk and more edge cases than a simple image utility, so advanced controls and review states stay in Pro.
Review a document for cleanup
Use ClipCanva Pro for bounded cleanup of supported PDF files.
