Limits
- Text watermarks only on this page; image logos use the workspace.
- Opacity and angle use sensible defaults for readability under content.
- Watermarks are flattened on export and cannot be toggled off afterward.
FAQ
- Does the watermark appear on every page?
- Yes. The watermark is applied across all pages in the document when you export.
- Can I use my company name?
- Enter any custom text in the watermark field — for example your company name, project code, or status label.
- Will a watermark stop copying?
- Watermarks deter casual sharing but are not a security control. Combine with Protect PDF for password encryption.
