pdfparanoia is a PDF watermark removal library for academic papers. Some publishers include private information like institution names, personal names, ip addresses, timestamps and other identifying information in watermarks on each page.

|
Simple.
|
|
|

``` bash

sudo pip install pdfparanoia

or,
|

sudo python setup.py install
