hello, i have a problem with a few pdfs. i have many magazines that are watermarked with an annoying website logo that i want to remove. i usually do it manually by deleting layers but some magazines are over 100+ pages. i would like to know if there is a faster way to accomplish this task without removing any wanted material. i have included a picture and a sample. thanks in advance.

This content is not on a layer. There are no layers in this file.



Instead it is normal text (WorldMags.net) added to the page to function like a watermark. You need a tool that can search and replace text to remove it.

When the text is also the same size (44pt) and when it is always in the same color (50.19% RGB) it is easy to select and remove it with a PitStop Action List.



Select by point size

Select color

AND

Remove selection



And there is also an action "Select by key phrase" with which you can select a specific piece of text.



There is more than one option.
