Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-1176:
----------------------------------------

IMHO there are two terms called watermarks which exist in the wild. 

# watermarks in the sense of watermark annotations
# watermarks in the sense of drawing over/under a current page content. 

I think the latter is wrongly cause by libraries working with terms such as 
overContent and underContent which is only a helper to draw above/under the 
rest of the page but might lead to the impression that such content definition 
is available in PDF. There are sample using the term watermark but using the 
latter approach. On the other hand we are not clear what the ticket is about. 
Maybe we should rephrase it to 'support watermark annotations'.

In addition we might think about introducing helpers such as over/under or 
foreground/background as watermark annotations are a PDF 1.6 feature to support 
earlier implementations.

> I am checking if watermarks can  be added to a PDF doc and the same way can 
> be removed, so far I could not find any option to do that with PDFBox; It 
> will be better if we have an option to add and remove watermak to a PDF.
