About Watermark PDF
Watermark PDF adds text, an image, or both across pages so viewers know a file is draft, confidential, or sample. Law firms label privileged drafts; photographers protect proofs; product teams mark beta specs. Adjustable opacity, position, and typography help you balance visibility against readability—subtle gray diagonal text is common for internal review, while bolder stamps appear on client-facing samples.
Image watermarks often use transparent PNG logos; text watermarks can repeat a name, date, or case number. Choosing which pages receive the mark (all versus ranges) keeps cover sheets clean when needed. Watermarking is not encryption: someone with editing tools might still attempt removal, so combine with policy and Protect PDF when appropriate.
Large PDFs still obey upload limits; split or compress first if you are near the ceiling. Preview the output to ensure the watermark does not obscure critical numbers or signatures—especially on forms that will be printed in black and white.
For public distribution, confirm you have rights to the logo or phrase you embed. After watermarking, you may still merge this file into a larger packet or compress for email. Avoid uploading trade-secret documents unless your security review approves cloud processing.
