How to Watermark a PDF Privately Before Sharing
Add a text or image watermark across every page locally, so drafts stay marked without an upload.
Drafts and sample files need a clear mark: CONFIDENTIAL, REVIEW COPY, or your company name. Doing that on an upload site means the unmarked original also leaves your device.
Watermark PDF draws semi-transparent text or an image across each page. Adjust size, color, opacity, and angle for text marks, then preview page one before you download.
A watermark deters casual reuse. It is not a lock. Pair it with Encrypt PDF when the file still needs a password, and Compress PDF if email size is the next problem.
For client packets, watermark after Merge PDF so every page in the final attachment carries the same mark.
