Bryan Bishop 47bc734318 replace_object_with - alternative removal method
Some publishers generate pdfs with the watermarks inside the text of a
page, in which case the object needs to be replaced. This deflates the
object and uses plaintext instead. While this increases the size of the
pdf, it is also effective for removing watermarks from the stream.
