Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evince
Expected behavior: The watermark in the PDF that is being viewed in the
accompanying screenshot should only show when printed, not viewed on a
PC.
What happened instead: See enclosed screenshot.
The PDFs that I have seen exhibit this problem are found on the "Amazing
Spider-Man: The Complete Collection" DVD-ROM, published by Graphic
Imaging Technology, now out of print.
In the README for the DVD-ROM, it said that there would be a "MARVEL"
watermark on each page when you printed it; however, these watermarks
would not appear when viewing the pages on your PC, assuming you were
using Adobe Reader 6.0 or later.
I can personally verify that, when using the latest version of Adobe
Reader on Windows, the watermarks behave as described: they only appear
on the printed copy, not when viewing it on your screen.
However, when viewing it in Evince, the watermarks appear onscreen (see
screenshot). I have not seen any way to hide them.
