Adding Watermarks to Pages Denied using Redact Tool

I would like to redact all of the contents on a page using the Redact tool, and then place a watermark on the page that says "Page Denied".

I know how to apply redactions to entire document pages using Redact, and I know how to apply watermarks to pages using Edit PDF: Watermark.

However, I have had a problem with not being able to use these tools together to get the result I want, because Redact removes all data from the page, including any watermarks that have been applied.

Is there a way around this problem? Someplace in the settings where I can specify that I want a watermark or annotation to appear over top of the redacted field?

You have to apply the watermark after redacting the page's contents, of course. But I agree with the comment made above that it would much easier to simply replace the page with a blank page that already has this text on it.

Following up on this thread -- Is the best / only solution to delete the page and replace it with a blank watermarked page? Or is there a way change the settings so that a watermark will display on top of page that has been 'denied in full' using the redaction tool?

Will you replace the pages with a empty page with watermark?

Yes.

Ideally, we'd like to deny the page in full, apply a redaction code to page, and then place the watermark on top of it all. Our working copy (redactions not yet applied) would contain: the original page content, a redaction area over the original page; and a redaction code selected for the redacted page; and finally watermark indicating that the administrative decision was denied in full. Then we would apply the redactions to produce a final copy that has: the document content removed, the redaction code, and a "page denied" watermark.
