Nothing to remove
This PDF carries no attachments, scripts, images, annotations or metadata. Rewriting it would change the bytes without removing anything.
Tick what to remove. Everything you leave unticked is written back exactly as it was.

Worth knowing about this file
The file is rebuilt from its object graph and everything no longer referenced is left out, so what you remove is gone from the bytes rather than merely hidden from the viewer. Your original file is never modified; the rewritten copy arrives as a new download.
Your original file is never modified. A clean copy will be downloaded.
Is the removed data really gone?
Yes. The PDF is rebuilt object by object and anything the document no longer references is not written out at all, so an attachment you remove is absent from the bytes. Tools that append a revision instead leave the payload in the file and only hide it from the viewer.
Will the PDF still open afterwards?
The pages, their text and their layout are written back untouched, and the file gets a fresh cross-reference table. Fast Web View does not survive, because it is a byte-offset layout and every offset changes. Images drawn inline inside a page’s content stream are part of that stream rather than separate objects, so they stay.
What about encrypted PDFs?
A password-protected PDF is refused and named as such. Its strings and streams are ciphertext, and rewriting them without the password would produce a file no viewer could open — a failure dressed up as a success, which is worse than saying no.
