Fix issue in which Excel-based watermarks not appearing in PDF renders

Add support for watermark removal.

Watermark Removal

Strips pre-production watermarks ("DRAFT", "PRE-Proof", etc.) from PDFs in memory before uploading
to Eyes. Original PDFs on disk are never modified.

Run it:

java -jar ImageTester.jar -k YOUR_API_KEY -f pdfs/ -rwauto -a YourApp -fb YourBatch

If your PDFs are organized into subfolders by environment (pre/, uat/, staging/), point at the
parent — each subfolder is handled independently.

Preview locally before uploading:

java -jar ImageTester.jar -f pdfs/ -rwauto -rwo cleaned/

Open the cleaned PDFs to verify, then re-run without -rwo to upload.

Single PDF, or watermark still visible after running — ImageTester prints a notice with next
steps. If unclear, contact Applitools support (support@applitools.com) with a sample PDF.

Note: cleaning changes what Eyes sees, so it invalidates baselines captured before cleaning was
enabled. Plan a baseline refresh on rollout.

ImageTester now accepts office and text files directly, converting them to PDF before upload:

  • Office (.docx, .pptx, .xlsx), Rich/plain text (.rtf, .txt, .ps), via LibreOffice (must be on PATH)
  • Markdown (.md)

Unconvertible files are skipped and reported at the end.

Downloads: pick the JAR for your platform - Windows, Mac, MacArm, Linux, Alpine, Arm, or the universal ImageTester_3.10.0.jar.

Add the -nf flag, which normalizes all fonts. This allows testing a single PDF that changes font styling without affecting visual diffing.
All fonts are converted to normal (no bold or italics) Helvetica 12pt.
