Frequently Asked Questions

Can I customize the watermark appearance?

Yes - set the watermark text, opacity, rotation angle (diagonal by default at -45°, but any angle works), font, color (hex), and position (center, the four corners, or custom X/Y coordinates).

Is the watermark applied to all pages?

Yes, the watermark is automatically applied to every page in your PDF document for consistent protection.

Can the watermark be removed later?

Once applied, the watermark becomes part of the PDF. We recommend keeping your original unwatermarked file.

Will the watermark obscure my content?

The watermark is semi-transparent by default, so it protects your document while keeping the content readable.
