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'm attempting to convert your commands to UNIX and Mac (which is unix at heart). "dd" is built in to a mac, in a terminal window. File b.txt can be created either in a text editor, or via
cat >b.txt
[ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ]^d^d
and ls -a b.txt shows that it has 19 bytes in size.
Copy is cp.
But what does your /b flag do? I'm trying to translate that.

PS since I'm working with a COPY of the Nelson*Maps*.pdf file, I renamed it Maps.pdf, so that the dd command lines weren't so long! Though of course a <tab> command will autocomplete the filename anyway.
