Watermarks in PDFs can be frustrating, whether they obstruct reading or simply look unappealing. But don’t worry! Anyone can remove watermarks easily, and the process is super simple. This article introduces two easy methods: one using pdftoword → Remove watermark → wordtopdf, and the other with PDFasset’s one-click watermark remover.

Method 1: Use pdftoword to Remove Watermarks

The first method is to convert the PDF to an editable format, remove the watermark in Word, and then convert it back to a clean PDF.

Step 1: Convert PDF to Word

Go to PDFasset, select the pdf to word function, and upload your file. PDFasset uses 256-bit encryption to protect your files, and the conversion process only takes a few seconds.

Step 2: Remove Watermarks in Word

Open the converted Word file, where watermarks may appear in different forms:

• Header/Footer Watermarks: Text or images in the header or footer.
• Background Watermarks: Light-colored text or images across the page.
• Text Box Watermarks: Floating text boxes with watermark content.

This article uses txt watermarks as an example, but the process for text watermarks is similar.

To remove watermarks, follow these simple steps:

1. Header/Footer Watermarks: Double-click the header or footer, select the watermark, and press Delete.
2. Background Watermarks: Click “Design” → “Watermark” → “Remove Watermark” to delete all background watermarks.
3. Text Box Watermarks: Right-click the text box and select “Delete”, or remove them all at once.

Step 3: Convert Word Back to PDF

Once the watermark is removed, go back to PDFasset and select word to pdf to convert the document back into a high-quality PDF.

Method 2: Use PDFasset’s One-Click Watermark Remover

If the above method feels like too much work, PDFasset offers a one-click watermark removal tool, which is even easier! Simply upload your PDF to the Remove PDF Watermark tool, and PDFasset will automatically clean up the document for you. No manual editing is needed — just download your watermark-free PDF instantly.
