Add a watermark to PDF or remove previously added watermarks using C++

Using this C++ library, stamp PDF documents with an image or text watermark or remove an already added watermark in a few steps

Add a text or image watermark to PDF documents using C++. Load the PDF document and insert the required watermark into it. Then save the result in a convenient format such as DOCX, PDF, MD, HTML, TXT, DOC, RTF, EPUB, XPS and more, and share the watermarked document with another person. Also remove the watermark from PDF document if the watermark was previously added to the document, and the reasons for adding are not longer relevant.

PDF – add watermark in C++

With this C++ API, developers can add a watermark to PDF online. Just create the watermark using text or an image and then insert that watermark into your PDF document in C++.

Note: there is no need to install any third party applications or libraries. Therefore, our C++ software solution is very easy to use.

Remove watermark from PDF – C++

The given C++ SDK is also helpful to remove watermarks from PDF. Removing a watermark in PDF means that you can load the desired PDF document stamped with a text or image watermark, remove this watermark from the PDF using C++, and then save the output file in a convenient format – DOC, DOCX, PDF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF and others.

Work with watermark in PDF

To evaluate how to add or remove a watermark in PDF with our C++ API, load the PDF and the watermark as an image or text. Then select a convenient export file format – DOC, DOCX, PDF, HTML, RTF, XPS and others.

Use the following example to see how it works:
