I need to remove watermark from PDF on my Mac, but I am not sure how to go about it. As far as I know some online tools that require me to upload the PDF to their website, which is not secure.
I need a reliable solution that allows me to remove the watermark directly on my Mac without compromising the security of the file. Any guidance on how to remove watermark from PDF on Mac would be highly appreciated.

Sure, I can help you out with that! Removing a watermark from a PDF on your Mac without uploading it to an online service is a pretty smart move, especially if you're concerned about security. Here's a couple of ways you can do it right on your Mac:
Using Adobe Acrobat:
If you have Adobe Acrobat, it's a bit more straightforward. Acrobat has more advanced editing features.
Open the PDF in Acrobat and use the editing tools to remove the watermark. Acrobat might even have a dedicated 'Remove Watermark' option.
PDF Editing Software:
There are some dedicated PDF editing applications for Mac like MarkPDF or PDFelement. They often have more advanced features than Preview, including watermark removal. These are paid apps, but they usually offer free trials, so you can see if it works for your needs before buying.

Using Automator:
Remember, though, if the watermark is there for copyright or other legal reasons, removing it might be a breach of those terms. Always make sure you're respecting the rights of the document creator.

That’s the purpose of a watermark, yes. And hence re-generating the document is the best approach.

That statement is self contradictory. You can't preserve the security of the file and alter it.
If this is a PDF that you are generating, re-generate the PDF file without the watermark.
If you have rights to remove the watermark in this (unprotected) PDF, Adobe Acrobat can provide that:
