Bryan Bishop caed396870 SPIE watermark removal This is slightly broken because the SPIE plugin removes more than just watermarks. For some reason it seems to also remove images and large blocks of text from the paper. However, the object that is being removed is tiny. In the unit testing sample, the removed object is pdf stream 55. For now, SPIE is partially disabled until this is fixed. The problem does not originate from the other plugins. fixes #20		2013-02-11 23:52:59 -06:00
