Kind of hard to read with "DRAFT" slapped over every page. Anyone know how to remove it?
No way that I am aware.
Well, I did it in a somewhat ugly way (removing the "DRAFT" from the file and then repairing the PDF using pdftk) and it seems to work.
So it's finally legible. Unclear to me why they'd want to make people work this hard to be able to read it.
Because it's preliminary and not the final document. Still subject to reviews and changes.
I have no questions why it's designated as "draft". My question is why they slap a huge "DRAFT" across every single page making it very distracting to read and review.
Maybe they do it to avoid confusion when people print out individual pages.
Then they should have the DRAFT positioned so it's less distracting, or provide some way of removing it for reading. The goal of a draft it to maximize the number of eyes on it before release, but with that kind of distraction my guess is it would get a lot less scrutiny.
BTW, as I noted above, I did remove that watermark on my own, but it was a pain and I suspect not everyone can do that (unless there is some trick I've missed).

Because the FAA plays to the lowest common denominator: the drooling idiot pilot who doesn't notice the bright red DRAFT that they printed in gigantic letters across the top or in the margins. So the just plaster it across the middle so Dickey can't possibly miss it.
They think we're that stupid.
But you know there's always that one moron pilot out there who would claim he didn't see the word "draft" and so it's not his fault that he ________ . That's the guy they put it there for.

That makes no sense.Because the guv wants to shove their agenda down our throats without any feedback or resistance ..... Happens on the local level too...

If the guv wanted any and all feedback,, DON'T make it hard to read.....
I don't understand the fuss. It it is semi-transparent. You can see the text under the DRAFT letters themselves. It is not difficult to read. The other alternative is for them not to publish it at all. It is also your choice to not read it if it bothers you so much.
Well, I was able to remove the DRAFT with some elbow grease, as I mentioned above, so I might just be that moron.
