Different from Word and Excel, PDF enables people to attach various files in it. For the convenience of both protecting the confidential files and avoiding the PDF too large, PDF also allows developers to remove any attachment. This section will introduce a solution to remove attachments from PDF via a PDF component in C#, VB.NET.

Spire.PDF for .NET, a .NET component with rich capabilities in manipulating PDF, enables you to quickly remove attachments from your PDF document. Now please see below picture and view the whole attachments remove solution after it.

In the solution, first you need a decision procedure to see whether this PDF file has any attachment, then, remove attachments. There are two situations here. One is to remove all the attachments. You can call this method: Document.Attachments.Clear(). The other is to remove a certain attachment or attachments. You can remove them either by pointing file name for example filename=="e-iceblue.html " or by the file extension such as filename.Contains(".html"). Below solution directly find the PDF via file name. Please remember to download Spire.PDF for .NET before performing the project.
