How to add a watermark to a PDF

  1. Open the PDF (or several files to combine first).
  2. Under Watermark, type your text or pick CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, COPY, SAMPLE or PRIVATE. Choose a style (a rubber stamp, big words across the page, repeated, or a line at the top), a colour and a strength, and check the preview.
  3. Press Export PDF to save the watermarked copy.

Questions

Can I watermark with my own words?

Yes. Type anything up to 60 characters, such as your company name or "Copy for Jane Smith".

Does the watermark cover the text underneath?

No. It's see-through, so the page can still be read. Choose Light, Medium or Strong.

Can someone remove the watermark?

It's part of each page, so it can't simply be switched off, but a determined person with PDF editing software could remove it. For stronger protection, also add a password with Protect PDF.

Is my file uploaded?

No. The watermark is added in your browser, on your device.
