I have problem with printing actual date on secured pdfs. I found on forum a way to do it. It uses watermark. When I print document the second time the new watermark is in the same place as the old one. This is a problem, becouse the date is hard to read, for example 2009-02-03 is override by 2009-03-02. Only year is clear, the other part od the date has differnet numbers in the same place.
I know, how to delete watermark manually, but it is not a solving.

Do you know, how to delete watermark automatically? Any commends in JavaScript?

Thank you for your help.

There is no way to remove a watermark. Some 3rd party stamping software gives you an option to set up a undo stamp label.

You can redact the information, which will 'remove' the previous stamp information.

But you can turn it on and off:

function ToggleWatermark(doc){var ocgArray = doc.getOCGs();for (var i=0; i < ocgArray.length; i++) {if (ocgArray[i].name == "Watermark") {ocgArray[i].state = !ocgArray[i].state;}}} ToggleWatermark(this)
