Watermark

Draws a text watermark on the pages you choose, at the angle, size and opacity you set. Tile it to make the document awkward to reuse, or place a single mark in one corner.

Worth knowing: A watermark is a visual mark, not a security control — anyone determined enough can remove it. Use Protect PDF if you need access restrictions.

Frequently asked questions

Can the watermark run diagonally?

Yes. Choose the diagonal layout or place it in a corner or the centre.
