We all know that Watermarks are used to protect the document. It is used to prevent wholesale copying. Sometimes, we as the originator of the document, have the need to remove the Watermark. In a Word Processing setting, we are given many scenarios such as:
"We need to send this document to another client. We only have a PDF of the file. The current document has our watermark that we need to remove."
Scenario:
Attorney comes to the center. He has an Adobe PDF document. The attorney says please remove the Watermark.
You go to Watermark within Adobe Professional but it does not show any file being uploaded to cause the mark. There is also no Text being used within the watermark text "key in" area. So what is going on?
1. The watermark was originally loaded in MS Word.
2. When the PDF was electronically created from the Desktop, the watermark became part of the newly created PDF file. The PDF file of this kind is produced in layers. We can select the watermark layer and delete it on any page if we need to.
3. Go to the first page within the Adobe file that has a watermark you need to delete. Click on an area where you are clicking on the picture of the Watermark. You will see the border of the watermark activate.
4. Go To Tools, Advanced Editing Functions and choose -Touch-Up Object Tool. If the Watermark border is active then just press delete. If it is not, click on any area of the mark and when you see its border activate press delete.
5. If you accidentally delete the text press Control Z for Undo and try again.
6. If you cannot seem to click on the mark to activate its border, click on the regular text and tug it to the Left just a bit to expose the watermark. Click on it and press delete. Make sure you shift the text back to the original position.
7. Once you go to Tools, Advanced Editing Functions and choose -Touch-Up Object Tool you can go to the next watermark to be selected and deleted without having to turn on the feature again and again.

8. To flatten down the Watermark, save the PDF file as JPEGs. Create a new PDF based on those JPEGs. Any Watermark will now be part of each page and cannot be removed because the resulting PDF file is no longer in Layers.
