I made this repository to remove watermarks from PDFs.

Installation

Create a new virtual environment with Python:

python -m venv $python_env

Install all the packages required for this project (yapf is included because I like yapf formatting. Feel free to remove this)

pip install -r requirements.txt

If you want to execute the code using IPython Notebook on VSCode, use requirements_ipynb.txt instead.

pip install -r requirements_ipynb.txt

Usage

python remove_watermark.py input_filename.pdf output_filename.pdf
