1. Set the environment to use Aspose.PDF for Java to remove annotations
2. Load the target PDF file into the Document object providing the file name
3. Access the target page from the collection of the pages in the loaded document
4. Access the annotations collection of the page and call the delete() method
5. Save the output PDF after deleting the annotations

These steps define the process to remove all annotations from PDF in Java. Each page in the PDF contains an object of the AnnotationCollection that supports the removal of annotations using the delete() method. You may iterate through all the pages in the PDF to delete annotations from the entire PDF.
