What kind of watermark does this remove?

Text stamped directly into the PDF as real, selectable content: the kind added by tools like this site's own Watermark PDF. It can't remove a watermark that's part of a scanned page image.

What if my watermark is part of a scanned image?

Use the image-based Watermark Removal tool instead, after exporting the page as an image (e.g. with PDF to JPG).

Does this affect the rest of the page?

No. Only the matching watermark text (and its immediate positioning/styling operators) is removed. Everything else on the page is preserved byte-for-byte.
