Watermark PDF
Write a watermark such as DRAFT across every page, then download the new document.
When to use it
- Stamp draft documents for internal review.
- Keep an unchanged copy of the source file when creating edited documents.
How to use this tool
Enter short Latin text such as DRAFT or REVIEW, choose its font size and opacity, and create a copy with a visible mark on every page. This implementation supports text watermarks rather than uploaded logo images.
Check the exported file
Inspect pages with different orientation to make sure the mark is visible. A watermark can be removed and does not enforce copyright or access restrictions.
Frequently asked questions
Does a watermark prevent copying?
No. It is a visible marking, not document encryption or a copying restriction.
Can this change existing digital signatures?
Creating a rewritten PDF can invalidate existing digital signatures. Review any signed input before relying on the edited output.
