How to remove 'SAMPLE' print on PDF Document?

pennypitstop_2

Hi guys

I have downloaded a sample exam paper from the Internet but it has 'SAMPLE' scrawled across every page (huge letters, diagonally, bottom to top) and I can't read some of the words in the questions. Is there a way to remove it? It's a PDF file so I have saved it to my computer but have no idea how to make changes to it and take it off.

Hope someone can help?

You can't. It's done specifically to stop people copying it.

you could do a print screen, and paste that into word or somthing

I think if you remove the 'SAMPLE' you will also remove what's underneath?

It could be done if its a layered file - PSD or PSP or PNG for example. But not where its just a 'flat' file.

Thanks for your replies, makes me wonder what the point is in giving sample papers if you can't read the questions though! I don;t want to copy it and have no idea if it's a flat file rather than layered - I just wanted to read it! Never mind, c'est la vie. Many thanks anyway!

Have you tried Edit/Select All/Copy then Paste into Notepad - as this is text only, should remove pictures, watermarks etc. Pasting into anything which can handle graphics might paste the watermark as well (but may be worth a try just for the hell of it...

To give you an idea of what kinds of questions they ask or what the layout is. The sample is meant for people buying the test/coursework , not for you to use as a practice exam.
