Practical guide
How to use Watermark PDF
A watermark can help identify a document as a draft, confidential copy or material belonging to a particular person or organisation. Its wording and visibility should be chosen so the underlying content remains readable.
Steps to follow
- Select the PDF you want to mark.
- Enter a short watermark phrase such as CONFIDENTIAL or DRAFT.
- Choose the available strength setting.
- Create the new PDF and inspect several pages to make sure the watermark is readable without hiding important content.
Tips for a better result
- Use a short phrase that is easy to recognise.
- Choose a lighter watermark when the document contains small text or detailed charts.
- Keep an original copy without the watermark.
What to check before using the file
A visible watermark is not encryption and does not prevent someone from copying or sharing the document. The result should be checked for readability.
