If you are running on a Windows system, you need a PDF Editor to remove the watermark from your PDF file on Windows. Fortunately, PDFelement Pro also acts as a professional PDF watermark removal tool for Windows that allows you to remove a watermark from a PDF on your device, including the new Microsoft Windows 8 system. Aside from removing watermarks from PDF, this PDF editing software also allows you to make more modifications to your PDF files, such as encrypt PDF files with a password, convert PDF to various document formats, create PDFs from multiple file types, annotate PDFs, and more.
After you have successfully downloaded and installed the Windows PDF watermark remover, click the 'Open File' button to load the file that has a watermark.

A digital watermark enables you to protect your personal documents from being copied by others. PDF Watermarks are usually added to PDF files as text, images, page numbers, dates, signatures, logos, and more.
Google Docs (known as Google Drive) is a PDF manager which allows you to convert PDF to Microsoft Word format. Once converted, open the output Word document with Google Docs or Microsoft Word to see the watermark displayed. Remove the watermark in Word. Once this is complete, convert the Word doc to PDF again, and then save the file. This process works but it is a bit tedious and complex. We suggest an alternative like PDFelement Pro.
