A simple bash script to remove annoying watermarks in PDF on Linux or compatible systems (confirmed to work with "Ubuntu on Windows").
Has an option to cut of pages at begining and end of your pdf.
Requires: pdftk, sed, bash
Usage:
# Usage: ./unwatermarkpdf.sh FILENAME WATERMARK RANGE
# RANGE is optional, e.g. 3-r3 removes first two and last two pages of the pdf
(For more RANGE syntax I refer to the "cat [<page ranges>]" part of the pdftk man page.)
Limitations:
- does work with a path to the file you want to change, but the cleaned PDF will be placed in the folder you are in at the time of execution
- one file at a time only
To Do:
- bulk watermark removal (multiple files at once),
- add a parameter for non destructive editing,
- maybe rewrite this in something else, like python.
