我将根据“我什至尝试将水印添加为图层”这一说法为您提供疑问，并假设您正在处理您正在创建的内容，而不是试图为其他人的内容添加水印。
PDF 使用可选内容组 (OCG) 将对象存储为图层。如果您将水印文本添加到图层中，您以后可以很容易地删除它。
下面的代码是针对 iTextSharp 5.1.1.0 的完整工作 C# 2010 WinForms 应用程序。它使用基于Bruno's original Java code found here 的代码。代码分为三个部分。第 1 节创建了一个示例 PDF 供我们使用。第 2 节从第一个 PDF 创建一个新的 PDF，并将水印应用到单独图层上的每个页面。第 3 节从第二个创建最终 PDF，但删除了带有水印文本的图层。有关详细信息，请参阅代码 cmets。
当您创建 PdfLayer 对象时，您可以为其指定一个名称以显示在 PDF 阅读器中。不幸的是，我找不到访问此名称的方法，因此下面的代码会在图层中查找实际的水印文本。如果您不使用其他 PDF 图层，我建议仅在内容流中查找 /OC，而不是浪费时间寻找您的实际水印文本。如果你能找到按名称查找/OC 组的方法，请告诉我！
