[Share] Delete all annotations from PDF

[probvar]

Description

Remove all annotations/highlights from pdf in Zotero.

I created this script to allow copying of my personal library to a group library. Then, in the group library, I can run this script to make sure that any other members of the library can see an unannotated PDF. I also remove Tags + Notes through other scripts.

Event

None
