How to Add a Watermark to a PDF

Watermarks can identify drafts, confidential documents, sample copies, internal materials, or documents belonging to a particular organization.

A watermark should remain visible without making the underlying document difficult to read.

Upload the PDF, enter the watermark text, then adjust size, opacity, placement, and rotation before creating the final document.

For a traditional watermark, centered diagonal text with moderate transparency is a common choice.

Very dark watermarks may cover important content. Very faint watermarks can become difficult to notice. Preview or inspect the output before distributing the file.
