Why Add a Watermark to a PDF?

A watermark can help identify a document, communicate its status, or display relevant branding. Its usefulness depends on the document and the watermark options available.

  • Identify documents with a relevant text watermark.
  • Label draft documents where appropriate.
  • Display a document name or other useful information.
  • Help distinguish a marked document from an unmarked copy.
  • Review the appearance before sharing or printing.

Remember that a watermark alone does not prevent copying, editing, or unauthorized distribution of a PDF.

How Does the Watermark PDF Tool Work?
