Stripping a pdf file from videos

Question

I have a huge pdf file (152M) containing embedded videos. I reckon most of its size must come from the videos themselves. I want to make a lighter version out of it so that it's easier to share and send around, so I would like to remove the videos.

Is there a simple way to do it? In particular, using free tools? Possibly a one-off solution without needing to remove the files one by one?

I thought of using imagemagick for it, but I can't find how and I'm not even sure it's possible

Answer 1

Well, I could not find a way to do it. However, my original problem involved a pdf exported from a pptx presentation, so I managed to remove the videos from the presentation.

This does not answer the question, but I had opened a parallel question on askubuntu.com, I'll put the link here if anybody is interested: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1453755/stripping-a-pptx-presentation-from-videos-in-libreoffice-impress/
