[bug] The "Remove Watermarks" does not work after splitting the pages

Post by Jensen Head »

The steps to reproduce the issue:
  • Add watermarks to your document as text
  • Apply the "Split Pages" tool to watermarked pages (it doesn't matter if the watermarks will be cut, or they will remain intact on one part of the page)
  • Apply "Remove Watermarks" tool — as a result, watermarks will remain in the document.

Hello Jensen Head,

When you use the "split page" feature - this takes the content of the original and creates two new separate pages using parts of that content. Unfortunately the information that some of the source content is a watermark is lost in the transfer process, and that's why the "Remove Watermarks" does not work on the new pages. I will check with our devs if this is something that can be changed, but it's possible that they can't preserve the info that some content was "watermark" before the split.

Kind regards,
Stefan
