How to remove (not extract) all attachment from a pdf on linux with some open source software?

Could not find how to do it with qpdf or pdftk or even a gui tool.

Edit: Solution pdftk A=oldpdf.pdf cat A output newpdf.pdf This removes all metadata and also the attachments.

  • Im interested what people recommend. If you dont find any, what about just printing to another pdf file? Wouldnt that remove attachments?

    • I found much easier solution, pdftk A=oldpdf.pdf cat A output newpdf.pdf. This removes all metadata and also the attachments.
