What is a PDF watermark?

A watermark is text or an image placed over a document page. Common examples include labels such as Draft, Confidential, Sample, Paid, Internal Use, or a company or website name.

How to watermark a PDF

  2. Choose the watermark option and enter the required text or select an image when supported.
  3. Adjust the available placement or appearance settings.
  4. Apply the watermark and download the resulting PDF.

Why add a watermark?

Watermarks can make the status or ownership of a document visible without changing the underlying written content. They are commonly used for drafts, review copies, branded documents and internal distribution.

Use consistent wording

For a document set, short wording is usually easier to read across different page layouts. Review the first and last pages before sharing the final file, especially when the source contains large graphics or forms.
