If the watermark offends you, it's not tough to make invisible. If you happen to have an editor that lets you do search and replace in binary files, make a copy of the file (since it's easy to wreck a PDF) and replace "[ 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 ]" with "[ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ]".
If you have Windows and no fancy editor, download "dd-0.5.zip" from here. Make a working directory somewhere that's easy for you to get to with a command line and extract dd.exe into the directory. Next copy NelsonsCompleteBookofBibleMapsandCharts23.pdf into the directory. Then use notepad to create a file named "b.txt" with the line "[ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ]" (without the quotes and no carriage return; if you check the file properties, it should contain 19 bytes). Now open a command line and navigate to your working directory. Type the following:
Code:
dd if=NelsonsCompleteBookofBibleMapsandCharts23.pdf of=a bs=480661 count=1
dd if=NelsonsCompleteBookofBibleMapsandCharts23.pdf of=c bs=480680 skip=1
copy /b a+b.txt+c fixed.pdf
"Fixed.pdf" doesn't splash the annoying Thomas Nelson logo across every page. |
I must have missed where it said that it was an either/or situation. My bad.
Yeah, I am not nearly computer-savvy enough to have known how to remove the watermark manually, like you described. But I have seen numerous programs that claim to be able to do it, and I could have picked up one of those--probably even free, as freeware or shareware. But either one of those alternatives is almost more trouble than the ebook is worth
to me. And, actually, I bought the ebook (in mobi, I think) a while back when it was marked way down; I was interested in this one as sort of a backup, "insurance," or whatever.
Thanks for your information. It certainly may be very helpful to me in the future, and maybe someone else will use it on this ebook. It's great to have someone, on this thread, with the knowledge that you have.
