Add a text watermark to a PDF
The practical guide
Apply a visible text watermark with controlled opacity.
Choose text, color, size, rotation, position, and page scope before generating a new document.
Watermarks are visible marks
A watermark can communicate status or ownership, but it is not access control and can be removed by capable PDF editing software.
