You sound like you know more about the nature of the watermark.
Please share that information with us.
For instance:
- is the watermark added as an annotation or as content that is part of the content stream? - if it's part of the content stream, is it part of the same content stream as the rest of the content, or is it part of a separate content stream. - if it's a separate content stream, is there any way to detect that the separate content stream contains a watermark? - is the watermark marked as a watermark, e.g. using Marked Content operators?

Without the answer to these counter-questions, there is NO WAY any one can answer your question. You may even be trying to do something that is impossible, e.g. if there is no way for a machine to distinguish the watermark from other content.

Please note that this mailing-list is about to be closed down.

You should either post your question on StackOverflow, or post it to the issue tracker at iText Software. The latter option is only available for iText customers.

The PDF has been generated with Acrobat Std. The watermark is added as a Gif.

Dim subrep As String

Dim NewDir As String

Dim password As String = "xxxxxx"

Dim i, j As Integer

Dim nb_pages As Integer

        subrep = Get_Dir_File(F_Name)

        NewDir = Path.Combine(Dir_Out, subrep)

If Directory.Exists(NewDir) Then

'Ne rien Faire

Else

Directory.CreateDirectory(NewDir)

End If

        myFile = Path.Combine(Dir_Out, subrep, F_Name)

Dim pdf_reader As New PdfReader(F_FullName, New System.Text.ASCIIEncoding().GetBytes(password))

        nb_pages = pdf_reader.NumberOfPages

Dim page As PdfDictionary

Dim annot As PdfDictionary

Dim annots As PdfArray

Dim content As PdfString

DimRcontent As PdfStream

For i = 1 To nb_pages

            page = pdf_reader.GetPageN(i)

            annots = page.GetAsArray(PdfName.ANNOTS)

If annots IsNot Nothing Then

‘Code to add here to remove WaterMark which is the overlayer

End If

Next

Dim pdf_stamper As New PdfStamper(pdf_reader, New FileStream(myFile, System.IO.FileMode.Create))

pdf_reader.Close()

pdf_stamper.Close()
