Delete Image Across Pages

[Amiable_code5FCD]

I have a PDF with ~1200 pages that has an image watermark placed in the bottom right corner, and I would like to remove this across all pages in one pass. I am using Acrobat Version 2025.001.20476 for MacOS 15.5 as part of my CC Subscription.

I have searched extensively online, but the only solutions I have found are summarized below:

• Use preflight to separate images into their own layer and hide this layer. This does NOT work because it removes other images in the PDF that I would like to keep.
• Select the image, mark for redaction, repeat across pages, and apply redactions. This does NOT work becuase, even with my redaction mark set to transparent, it also redacts anything the image was overlapping.
• Remove footer/stamp/watermark. This did NOT work because the image was apparently not placed in Acrobat.

Any thoughts on how to select an image that is in the same spot on every page and delete just the image? I can do this manually without any of the issues above, but I think Acrobat should be able to do this for me considering how expensive it is! It looks like "delete across pages" is something competitors can do (see, e.g., Infix PDF editor, now discontinued), so it's frustrating that Adobe does not have a similar feature.

In case anyone comes across this in the future, I figured out how to do it by creating a fixup to remove objects that are exactly the size of the image I wanted to remove. See https://khkonsulting.com/2017/03/remove-content-from-pdf-files-using-acrobats-preflight/

I have been trying to do the same. I appreciate the time you took to explain your issue and your solution. Can I ask what settings you used inside the Fixup and Checkup menus to specify the size or other elements?
