Why Add a Watermark to a PDF?

A watermark can make a document easier to identify and help communicate how it should be handled. Here are some common reasons to use one:

Show Document Ownership

Add your name or business name to identify your work. This is useful when sharing reports, guides and other documents.

Protect Shared Documents

A watermark such as CONFIDENTIAL or DO NOT COPY can remind readers that a document contains private or restricted information. Keep in mind that a watermark alone does not prevent copying or editing.

Add Your Business Branding

Use your company name or brand identity on business documents to make them look consistent and professional.

Mark Drafts and Review Copies

Add DRAFT, SAMPLE or FOR REVIEW to show that a document is not the final version.

Identify Educational Documents

Teachers, students and training teams can mark notes, assignments, worksheets and learning materials with a name or class label.
