Question by Jonathan: How do I remove a watermark in a pdf file? I have Adobe 9 Pro and Photoshop CS4.?
The watermark is grey and a 45 degree text across each page with only text in it. I was wondering if I could remove everything that is grey. I’ve tried the “remove watermark” option and that does not work. I’ve used the wand is CS4 and still to no avail. Any help is appreciated.

Try saving the pdf file as a jpeg and crop it out in Photoshop CS4
Yes, you can remove everything that is grey, but the problem is not the “removing” part, but the “revealing what was underneath the watermark” part. See, even if you could remove perfectly the watermark, you would have a white hole in it’s place. Try clone stamp tool to cover that hole
Try going to http://www.freepdftoword.org and converting the file to word and then you should be able to remove the watermark image and you can then recreate the PDF.
