Frequently Asked Questions
QCan the watermark be removed by the recipient?
It is drawn into the page content, so it cannot be toggled off in a PDF reader. It is a visual deterrent rather than real security though — someone determined and technical could still edit it out. For genuine protection you need a password or digital rights restrictions.
QWill the watermark cover up my text?
Use the opacity setting to keep it faint enough to read through. Around 20 to 30 percent is usually the sweet spot between visible and unobtrusive.
QCan I use an image or logo as the watermark?
This tool handles text watermarks only. For an image watermark on a picture rather than a PDF, use the Image Watermark Adder in Image Tools.
QDoes it watermark every page?
Yes, the text is applied to all pages in the document, centred according to the angle you pick.
About This Tool
The watermark is drawn as real text into each page content stream using a standard PDF font, positioned by measuring the string width at your chosen size so it stays centred regardless of wording. Because it is text rather than a rasterised image, it stays crisp at any zoom level and adds very little to the file size.
