removing comments

Hi All,
We have PDFs supplied where the text looks like it should print but are actually "Comments". When sent to the press they are not there (as expected).
Is there a way to use preflight/actions to remove these comments so the proof reflects the actual print version.

TIA for any advice

Hi Andrew

On a test here comments are classed as annotations.
Action = Remove annotations worked here.
If that doesn't work could you post a file please?

Flatten annotations might also be useful if you want to keep them.

Either way you can detect they are there using preflight.
