Question

I downloaded a PDF from the state website which has the word "sample" angled across it in the background like a watermark. However, it isn't a watermark. Each letter is in its own article box which is hiddem behind another article box with text in it. 

Is there a way to list the article boxes in order to delete the background boxes? The filr is attached.

    Hi MGillett,

     

    Thanks for reaching out. As described above, you want to delete the article boxes from the PDF, correct?

     

    As its a sample file downloaded from the website, its hard to say what is the structure of the PDF. Editing the PDF depends on the structure and properties of the file. 

     

    Could you please share the PDF file with us for testing? As we are not able to see the file attached in the original post.

     

    Also, what is the application and the version you are using? To check the version of the application please use the help article - https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/identify-product-version.html

     

    Regards

    Hi Amal, Thank you for responding. I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. How would you suggest I share the file with you? I am not very familiar with this method of communication.

    I have uploaded the file and here is the link. https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/review?uri=urn%3Aaaid%3Ascds%3AUS%3A1517aa5b-18fa-43f5-bec5-9545f2fec3eb

    Hello, 

     

    Thanks for sharing the file. It brings  a lot more clarity to the issue. We tried to reproduce the issue and we are not able to remove this watermark. Have you created this PDF file or have you got the PDF from some one else? It seems that this watermark is not added in Adobe Acrobat or by Adobe PDF maker so it is not getting detected. 

    Please request the Author/Creator of the PDF to remove the watermark.

     

    Regards

    Amal
