How it works

The mark that repeats in the same place on every page is what gets removed — that repetition is how it is told apart from the content, which does not repeat. The text underneath stays text, so it can still be searched, copied and read aloud. A stamp printed into a scanned picture cannot be lifted this way, and the page will say so rather than quietly return the file unchanged. Only remove a mark from a document that is yours to change.
