Changes to the document format after removing watermarks

[SvenKr]

I recently removed watermarks from a PDF in Affinity Designer. This worked very well. After exporting, I noticed that the formatting of the text was no longer correct. Spaces were removed and inserted images were moved. Is there a solution for this? Many thanks in advance!

Do you have all fonts installed (same versions) as used in the pdf file?

[SvenKr]

Unfortunatly i am not able to find out the used font because the document is written with a template in the internet before i download it and remove the watersigns.

Just out of curiosity, since watermarks are often added for copyright/ownership reasons, why are you removing the watermarks from a document that you got from the internet?

[SvenKr]

There is an error on the website that a watermark is inserted into the document even after registration. This should not be the case.

If you are authorised to have legitimate access to a non-watermarked version of the document then I would suggest contacting the owners/controllers of the website so they can make that available to you.

This will also make them aware of a problem which other people might also be having.

By doing so you will ensure that you get the document as you expected without having to edit it in any way which, as you have seen, can create all kinds of problems, some of which might not be noticed until final use.
