Add a Watermark to a PDF

Put text or an image across every page — a status like DRAFT, a company logo, or a note about who a copy was issued to.

How to Add a Watermark to a PDF

1. Open the PDF — Drop in the document to be stamped.
2. Choose the mark — Type the text or upload an image, then set its position, size and transparency.
3. Download — Save the watermarked PDF.
