That's caused by the way the "duplicated" watermark was
added. There are better ways to add such a watermark.

The Java developer should have used:
1) a more recent version of iText (1.3.6 is almost 5 years old),
2) PdfStamper instead of PdfWriter.

By default, iText creates PDF 1.4 documents, but that's
just the default. If you use functionality that was
introduced in later version, you can create documents
in version 1.7.

iText even supports functionality such as RichMedia that
was introduced after PDF 1.7 / ISO-32000-1.

Developers working with iText should read the book:
http://itextpdf.com/book/

De hierboven samengevatte uitleg wordt uitvoerig
besproken in het boek, en we verwachten van ontwikkelaars
die professioneel bezig zijn met iText dat ze het boek
hebben en gebruiken. Merk op dat er van de eerste editie
van het boek een speciale (goedkopere) uitgave bestaat
voor de Indische markt.
