ArchiCAD insert numbers in the corner on the layouts which i cant remove

ArchiCAD inserts numbers in the left corner in white.  This is the inscription "GSPPublisherVersion 0410098".It can't be removed and it is made in white. So if I need a regular drawing in PDF it is not visible because it blends in with the white background in PDF, but if I need to replace the background in the drawing with anything other than white, this inscription stands out, which is very annoying. If I crop the layout, the inscription simply shifts, that is, it is always visible.Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Do you have a commercial or educational license?

 

If it is moving with the frame when you crop, is it a drawing title that could be turned off in the drawing settings?

I have a commercial license. It was also in my educational license when I had it.

it moves with the frame when I crop the layout, it is always the lower left corner, it is not a title, even if I save a blank pdf without a drawing in it, this signature is in the PDF. I think this text appears in everyone's license, it is just not visible because the inscription is white and maybe few people use a different background in the PDF... I just transfer the PDF file to Photoshop and use a different background color there, and this inscription is visible.
I also tried using an empty archicad file/another versions and it happened there too. the only way out is to crop the pdf in third-party services....

For example, I found this PDF in someone's question here on the forum, and his PDF also contains this with a different GSEducationalVersion signature. You can see pdf file and you can see that if i use black background the signature is on it:(

 

If the file was created in the educational version, it will always contain the educational watermark.

Even if you open it in a commercial version.

Once and educational file, it will always be an educational file.

 

Files created in the commercial version will not have this watermark.

yes, i understand that. But at the moment i have a commercial license to work and when i open a new file i still get this text on the left corner. 

It should not happen on a new file unless that new file is based on an old educational file or template.

A new file based on the commercial template should not have this.

When you save the file it should have a .PLN file extension.

I think the educational files have a .PNE file extension? (I am not sure)
