Why not use Microsoft Edge to remove watermark from PDF files on your Windows PC? Edge has built-in PDF tools that include drawing and erasing capabilities, which work well for removing watermarks that are simple overlays or ink annotations. Let me walk you through the process.

It is completely free, requires no installation beyond the browser already on your Windows PC, and takes only a few clicks. For embedded watermarks, however, you will need a more powerful PDF editing tool.
