Note: If you already saved a file with the evaluation watermark and closed the software, the watermark becomes baked into the PDF layers. You will need to use Method 2 to manually delete it from that specific file. Method 2: Removing Watermarks via the Watermark Tool

Options:

If the watermark was burned directly into the background image of a scanned page, Master PDF Editor cannot recognize it as a separate text or image object.
