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.

F_Name As String, ByVal Dir_Out As String)

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()
