I'll check tonight or tomorrow to see if there's any metadata that is
left behind anywhere.
I would be surprised, though, if, having removed the encryption using
GuaPDF and then sanitizing with Acrobat/manually removing the
watermark, that there would be anything left. Adobe actually takes
sanitizing quite seriously, as it lead to some pretty bad press back in
the day when the santizing and censoring wasn't quality.
Furthermore, from what I gather, the water-marking is done by a script
of x RPG dealer website; the base images aren't modified, just a locked
watermark is written on top of the image. Once you unlock with GuaPDF,
you should be able to remove everything aside from the images.
Worse come to worse, you could "print" the pdf to another PDF, to make
sure it's just the image that is copied.
