$insertWatermarkResult = $wordsApi->insertWatermarkOnline($insertWatermarkRequest);

$convertRequest = new ConvertDocumentRequest(
    $insertWatermarkResult->document()->values(), "docx", 
	    NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL
);
$wordsApi->convertDocument($convertRequest);
use Aspose\Words\WordsApi;

$requestDocument = "Input.docx";
$deleteWatermarkOnline = new DeleteWatermarkOnlineRequest(
    $requestDocument, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL
);
$deletedWatermark = $wordsApi->deleteWatermarkOnline($deleteWatermarkOnline);
