Frequently Asked Questions
Can I remove a watermark from a purchased PDF?
Only remove watermarks from documents you own or have rights to modify. Do not remove watermarks from licensed content.
What if the watermark is burned into the page?
Pixel-level inpainting is required for content-stream watermarks. This is available in the Pro tier.
Will removing a watermark change the document layout?
No — only the watermark layer is removed. All other content remains identical.
Can I remove a logo watermark?
Yes — image watermarks in annotation or transparency layers can be removed alongside text watermarks.
