pdf in another reader

[Rafael G 14]

Hi, I'm in the interview phase, I used a PDF reader other than Adobe, and with that I have a water mark on the sheets "PDF created with pdfFactory evaluation version www. pdffactory com." would that be a problem? or is there no requirement for this? I'll post a photo with an example.

I don't know if this is a problem, but its probably better not to have it.

What exactly are you trying to do? What docs?

I'm printing everything I'm going to use for the interview., but the program I'm using puts a watermark on the sheet of all sheets.

Why not just do it with acrobat reader or a program that doesn't do that?

I'm guessing you've done some kind of editing or file combining?

I'm on a mac, when I had this problem I used the built in preview app, it allowed me to put a white text box over the watermark

There are an awful lot of programs that don't. If OP does have a distilled PDF, he could use one of these to strip it out (or add a white box like you suggest).

I did not edit, just open the documents and print, but I think it's better to sin for the excess than for the lack, I'll try to print without those marks.

If you're just printing - the acrobat reader route is fine. However, it sounds like you might have printed the documents as PDF, using the pdffactory printer driver. This is where that got added. If this is the case - no matter where you print them from (acrobat reader, foxit, etc, anything) they will have the watermark.

 

You either have to recreate them with a program without a watermark or strip them out with another program if you don't want them.

 

Practically speaking, I doubt it will make any difference, but I'd want it gone if it were me, too.

I really do not know what happened kkkk, I think it does not look very well with this, I will try to withdraw, and in the interview I ask if there is a problem, so other people will not go through the same Thank you

the free ones are usually limited somehow, depends on what you want to do, they might work, I'm on mac too so I'm a little more limited.

I downloaded Adobe acrobat reader and it was free. Go to Adobe website and download the free version. The embassy is not going to accept that hence why on their website it states to download Adobe acrobat reader. The instructions are pretty clear. I also have another on that edits that is free and doesn't leave watermark. You will be submitting documents that will become legal government documents and attached to your file for the rest of your life in the US so the watermark is a no no.

You can download Adobe acrobat reader which is free(https://get.adobe.com/reader/). Adobe Acrobat Pro is not free. But adobe reader should be sufficient to open and print any pdf documents
